About this app

Find a calmer way to ride around Australia. AusBUG combines road data with riders’ local knowledge to help you plan lower-stress bike routes, explore trails and find people to ride with.

LOW STRESS ROUTING, SHAPED BY RIDERS
The shortest route is not always the ride you want. AusBUG considers road speeds, traffic stress, bike infrastructure and crossings when planning your route. Low Stress routing is designed to connect quieter streets and paths with signalised crossings and lower-stress connections over busy roads.

Riders can vote on a road’s level of traffic stress and suggest corrections. Reviewed community ratings help improve the map and routing.

CHOOSE YOUR ROUTING PROFILE
• Low Stress: prioritise lower-stress connections.
• Bike Paths: favour shared paths and cycleways.
• Bike Lanes: include bike lanes and quieter streets.
• Roads: favour road connections over winding shared paths.
• Quickest: a more direct cycling option that may use busier roads.
• Walk: use pedestrian routes and connections.

Add stops and compare route distance, time and climbing. Or choose a starting point, approximate distance and riding style, and let AusBUG suggest a loop ride.

NATIONAL HAZARDS, UPDATED DAILY
See mapped works, closures and reported hazards across Australia. The planner automatically detours around active mapped closures approved for routing. Riders can add reports and updates; general hazard pins do not all trigger a detour.

DISCOVER RIDES AND USEFUL STOPS
Explore route collections with photos, surface information, maps and elevation profiles. Find water points, toilets and other mapped stops along the way.

RIDE WITH YOUR COMMUNITY
Find local cycling groups, community rides and events. Check organiser links for current details and booking requirements. Coverage varies by region.

SAVE, NAVIGATE AND EXPORT
Save routes for later, follow navigation and export GPX files for compatible devices. Prepare supported routes for offline navigation before heading out.

FREE TO USE
No ads or subscriptions.

Always check signs, access rules and local conditions. Map data and reports may be incomplete or out of date. Lower traffic stress does not guarantee safety or a smooth surface, and some connections may require walking your bike.
Plan lower-stress bike routes, explore trails and find community rides.
