We are pleased to unveil the new Galleries front page, which brings your beautiful photos and content to the front and centre. Galleries is a really neat feature to group cycling-related media for presentation or campaigning. There is also a lot more flexibility available while adding a new gallery – you can now navigate away from the […]

Summer intern sought to help develop our codebase
CycleStreets is seeking a Cambridge (UK) -based intern over the summer, to help us improve our codebase quality. Over many years we have built up a very large codebase, which runs our Journey planner and Photomap.

Cycle Hackney app created by CycleStreets
We’ve created a new app for Hackney Council, the Cycle Hackney app. Available for both iPhone and Android, the app aims to provide information to the Council on where people cycle for their daily journeys, and where improvements to the street and path network are most needed. This combines crowsourced GPS traces to help create a heatmap of utility cycle journeys. […]
