Travel tiles

cycle.travel’s mobile app remembers where you’ve been, and lights up hexagons on a map. We call these ‘Travel Tiles’. It’s a fun way to challenge yourself to ride in new places.

Using travel tiles in the mobile app

Choose Travel Tiles in the map menu (top right) to show or hide travel tiles. They’re still recording even when they’re hidden, so you can either ride with the standard map display, or watch the tiles light up as you ride into a new area.

If you’ve accidentally lit up a tile where you didn’t ride, just hold down your finger in the affected area, and choose Clear this hexagon.

Seeing your travel tiles on the cycle.travel website

By default your travel tiles stay on your phone. If you want to see them on the cycle.travel website too, then open the Settings menu on the app, and choose Upload travel tiles.

The first time you do this, you’ll be asked if you want this to happen automatically from now on. (You can change this at any time in the App settings screen on the app.)

You can then see your tiles on the website by going to My bike and TilesTo choose whether other people can see your tiles, change the setting in Profile on the website.
