The article in a nutshell

Discover how sharing a bike trip itinerary becomes child's play with leading apps like Hexplo, Komoot, Strava, Google Maps, Geovelo and Garmin Connect. 📱🤙

From personalized routes to sharing communities, each app brings its own unique touch to make your cycling outings even more exciting. From scenic route planning with Hexplo to performance tracking with Garmin Connect, there's something for every taste and style. 🥳🚴

If you're ready to turn your cycling trips into unforgettable experiences (and share them with your friends or the world), this is the article for you! 🚴‍♀️🌟

Summary

🚴 Hexplo: your companion for creating and sharing customized cycling routes

We start with Hexplo, our darling at Lokki 🥰! Planning your bike trip itinerary with Hexplo is as easy as pedaling downhill. You choose your starting point and destination, and Hexplo takes care of the rest. Hexplo maps out a customized itinerary for you, avoiding major roads in favor of scenic routes. You don't have to be a tech pro - even your great-aunt who's just discovered selfie mode would find her way around! 🌐

Perhaps you'd like to check out the points of interest on your route? No worries, Hexplo shows you the best spots for picnics or sights not to be missed. And all without having to take an old paper map out of your bag! 🗺️

But Hexplo's real tour de force is sharing. Gone are the days when you had to describe your cycling route with exaggerated gestures. Now, with a simple link, your friends can see your route on their own device. Just save your route on Hexplo, and it's done: a magic link appears, ready to be sent to the whole gang. 🥳

You can even share your trip on social networks to make your followers dream. What better way to promote eco-friendly practices, encouraging others to explore by bike rather than car? 🚴‍♂️💚

🌍 Komoot: the must-have app for cyclists

Whether you're in mainland France, planning an outing through the vineyards, or somewhere in the world ( Reunion Island, for example! 😍 ), dreaming of hiking exotic trails, Komoot is there. It's the app you need on your iPhone or smartphone. 🌐🚴‍♀️

Want a route with more elevation changes to test your calves? Or perhaps a quiet trail to savor the scenery? Komoot adapts. You could almost feel the wind in your hair and smell the pine trees, just by looking at the screen! 🌲🚲

Komoot isn't just about advanced planning, it's also a veritable social network for bicycle touring enthusiasts. Share your routes, exchange photos and videos, give advice and get advice. It's a world where every cyclist contributes to a vast community, sharing not only routes, but also stories and experiences.

This is the essence of our message: connecting people and sharing knowledge, while discovering the world by bike. 🥰🚴‍♂️

📊 Strava: much more than just an activity tracker

Strava is the crème de la crème of social networking for cyclists. There's no need for a tie or polished shoes, just your bike and your enthusiasm. Strava has transformed the world of cycling into a friendly space where kilometers ridden and climbs are badges of honor. 🚴‍♂️🏅

What makes Strava so special is its incredible ability to connect cyclists around the world. Whether you use the app on an Apple device or any smartphone, you now have a buddy always ready to go for a ride. 🙆‍♂️

You'll find everything you need to track your activities: speed, distance, elevation gain... and of course, that sweet feeling of satisfaction after a ride. 📱🚲

Every route shared, every photo of your last outing is a way to motivate and inspire. It's a bit like saying, "Look what I've done, and you, when do you get on your bike?". And in that spirit of sharing, Strava is more than an app, it's a community that proves the pleasure of pedaling is infinite, no matter where you are on the planet. 🌍🚴‍♀️💪

🗺️ Google Maps: a classic revisited for cyclists

Using Google Maps to plan your cycling routes is like having a luxury GPS without spending a penny. Just open the online website or app, select bike mode, and voilà! Google will provide you with a route that's just right for you, giving priority to soft roads and cycle paths, far from the noise of cars. It even shows you the gradients, so you know what to expect. You know, those little climbs that make you feel your thighs and calves? 🗺️💪

Google Maps is also the art of personalizing your journey. You can add stages, reorganize your route on the maps, and even consult the difference in altitude between two points. And when it comes to sharing, it's child's play: one click, and you send your itinerary to whomever you like, by e-mail or directly to the phone linked to your Google account. 🚴‍♂️❤️🗺️

🚲 Geovelo: specialized navigation for cyclists

Need a safe route for your two-wheeled machine, whether electric, cargo or classic? Geovelo is there for you! 💪🚴‍♀️

Imagine a world where every pedal stroke contributes to a more bikeable city. That's the citizen impact that Geovelo offers. Every ride you take helps collect valuable data (RGPD friendly of course 👌), turning any cyclist into a change agent for greener, healthier cities. If we're talking sustainable tourism, it's right on target! 🌍🚲

But Geovelo doesn't stop there. Looking for bike parking or a repair point? The app shows you everything on the map. Want to discover new bike rides or trips? Geovelo has a catalog as extensive as a library. And for stats fans, get ready: you'll have individual stats and collective challenges to spice up your outings. 📊🔧

One of the best parts? You can design your routes easily and share them with your friends. "Hey, check out this great route I found on Geovelo!". You can even download the .gpx file to integrate with your GPS. 📱🗺️🎉

⌚ Garmin Connect: technological expertise for cyclists

For data and performance enthusiasts, Garmin Connect is the dream tool. It's where you dive into the world of numbers, graphs and everything else that makes the heart of a technophile cyclist beat faster. 🕵️‍♂️🚴‍♂️

This jewel of technology offers a range of functions as vast as your thirst for adventure. Do you want to analyze your last ride, check your health or just show off with your stats? Garmin Connect is your ally. It keeps an eye on you down to the smallest detail. 📊🚀

Sharing and analyzing your bike routes with Garmin Connect is as easy as saying "bikes". You create your route in just a few clicks, and bang, you send it straight to your Garmin gear, whether it's mounted on your handlebars or strapped to your wrist.

And for perfectionists, don't panic: Garmin ensures that each route name is unique, so there's no risk of mixing up your "Tour de France" outing with "Balade du dimanche". 🌐💌
