24 alternatives to Bicyclopedia
Hey folks! A bit of background: I'm a software engineer by trade, but I'm currently on sabbatical doing a year-long working holiday in Australia. I love riding bikes but only had the most beginner-level knowledge of them before I found a job at a bike shop. This was a fun personal project to try to capture some of what I've learned so far, targeted at fellow beginners. It's going to be incomplete/lacking if you already have some bike knowledge, but I hope you all enjoyed it all the same. Please keep the feedback coming; it's late in Australia, but I want to make sure the bike info is at…

History: Last year I had to replace the tire on my bike, and I was surprised how difficult it was to find a suitable new tire. There were a lot of numbers written on the casing, so I googled what they meant. In the end I was successful, but I didn't want to do the same work again for the next bike after I've forgotten the details. So I wrote this website. Technically, the web page is kept very simple, no frameworks, no templates, no website builder. It uses HTML5, CSS and JavaScript, and it privides a responsive layout for mobile usage. I'm happy to receive feedback. If you have tried the…

Hi HN, Cycle Archive is a free, browsable library of old cycling magazines and books from the 1860s–1940s. I started it as a way to explore cycling history myself, and all of the weird and wonderful articles in there. People inventing brakes, fighting about wheel sizes, pioneering indoor training and some pretty questionable dietary and training advice! The site attempts to pull it all together somewhere you can actually sit and read it. (Almost) every issue has a generated contents list: article titles, a one-line summary each, deep-linked to the exact page in the PDF, with full search…

Long time reader, first time self-promoter. I'm a bicycle mechanic that figured I could make the process of bicycle wheelbuilding faster, more accurate and more satisfying. I do it by sampling digital indicators, rendering the data in useful ways, and injecting domain-specific insights. The UI interaction happens by foot pedal so my paradigm retains the traditional way of working with your hands.

Bike’s most original feature is the “fluid” text editing. Lots of text editors have animated some interactions (cursor movement, insert newline, etc), but I think Bike is the first designed from the ground up to support fluid editing. Give it a try, it feels different. (movie on home page if you don't have Mac) Other Features: • In text mode Bike works like a normal text editor. In outline mode rows are constrained to outline hierarchy. • .bike file format is HTML subset, so files are easy to parse and manipulate. Bike also supports .opml and .txt. • Scriptable via AppleScript. Javascript…

Hey guys, I built a route planner that is mostly focused on bike touring and using existing bike infrastructure. For each request you're shown what bike tracks/trails your route uses and can further explore them by showing them on map or going to the official trail route. The main idea for the app is to have a friendly and easy to use planner that would make heavy use of official bike trails data (mainly from OpenStreetMap) and make it easy to plan a longer trip using the best possible bike routes out there. Currently the app only works for the Euro region but I'm planning to add North…

VeloPlanner▲37Hi HN! I'm an avid cyclist who took the leap a few months ago to quit my job and focus 100% on building VeloPlanner – a tool I wished existed for my own cycling adventures. VeloPlanner helps cyclists plan routes by prioritizing official, signposted cycling paths across Europe, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. What makes this different: - Focus on official cycling routes rather than just shortest path algorithms - Comprehensive POI integration (campings, hotels, attractions) - Detailed surface information (asphalt, gravel, forest trails) This is a solo founder project that I'm now…
