Rodi
A rider-first cycling app that guides your route and captures the ride.
The Challenge
Cyclists want a simple way to follow a planned route and see the key stats that matter. Many tools feel heavy or distracting on the bike, and getting a GPX from web to phone can be clumsy. The challenge was to build a lightweight, reliable experience that makes navigation and ride tracking effortless.
Our Solution
We designed and built Rodi as a free, rider-first bike computer. The app shows your route and ride statistics in a clear layout and provides turn guidance to keep you on track. A web uploader makes it easy to add routes from your favorite planning tools straight into the app. A Notion-powered blog workflow supports ongoing tips and updates, so content stays fresh without slowing development.
