Common FAQs

Some of my routes are already rated, do I need to update them?

Thereā€™s no need to rerate any of the parts of routes that youā€™ve already rated unless your feelings towards them have changed. If thatā€™s the case, weā€™d love to know your updated feelings on the route.

Can you expand on what you mean by comfortable?

Sure, when rating we want you to consider the overall qualities of that section of the route. For example, whether the surface is safe or skiddy to ride on or, if the road is chockablock with traffic or serenely vehicle-free. Your rating should consider the section on balance and summarize your overall feeling about it.

Can I see a map with everybody's ratings on?

Itā€™s coming soon! Weā€™re currently building it. Help us fill the map with your ratings and encourage other people to rate their routes too!

How do you protect the privacy of people rating their routes?

Weā€™ve taken steps to ensure our usersā€™ privacy, safety and security throughout the design and build of the ā€˜Rate your Routesā€™ features and the aggregate route maps. Read our full Privacy Statement here.
