Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI bike route planner work?

Simply describe your ride in plain English—like "20 mile loop from Zilker Park, prefer bike paths, mostly flat"—and our AI generates an optimized route using real-world bike lane data, traffic infrastructure, and elevation data. Your route gets an instant safety score. Our system analyzes thousands of data points to create routes that are not just fast, but actually safe and enjoyable to ride.

What makes Brakeaway's routes safer than other planning apps?

Brakeaway analyzes real-time bike lane data, traffic infrastructure, and elevation changes to identify the safest paths. Every route gets a safety score (0-100) so you know exactly what to expect before you ride. Unlike generic navigation apps that optimize for speed, we optimize for safety by prioritizing protected bike lanes, low-traffic streets, and infrastructure-friendly paths.

Can I draw my own route instead of using AI planning?

Yes! Brakeaway includes Draw Mode, so you can click to create routes directly on the map. Your custom route still gets an instant safety score based on real-world infrastructure data, so you'll know whether your planned route is as safe as you think it is.

Does Brakeaway support GPX import and Strava sync?

Yes. You can import existing GPX files and sync your Strava account to access your ride history and seamlessly plan new routes. This integration makes it easy to analyze past rides and use them as inspiration for future adventures.

What example prompts can I use for the AI?

You can describe rides like "flat loop near me," "commute from home to office," "hilly gravel ride," "30 mile road bike adventure," or "coffee stop loop." The AI understands natural language and generates routes based on your preferences. Be specific about distance, terrain preference, and route type, and you'll get routes tailored to exactly what you want.
