Banzay

Long-Distance Banzay

Banzay is planning a 200km next month. Wind conditions are critical for such a long ride.

  • Planning

    Creates 200km route with 5 waypoints (lunch stops, rest points)

  • Forecast

    Checks 5-day wind forecast for target weekend

  • Day 1

    Mostly green segments (tailwind) ✓

  • Day 2

    Mixed yellow/orange (crosswind/headwind) ⚠

  • Optimization

    Adjusts route to maximize tailwind, adds extra rest waypoint

Wind2Ride — my experiment

Before each ride, I checked the forecast and wondered where the headwind would be. I decided it's better to create a tool than to guess.

  • About me

    My name is Yevhen Peshynskyi.
    I live in Odessa, I am a product designer, I love prog rock, good interfaces, and bike rides of 100 km or more.

  • Wind

    We have steppes and wind here. And I know what a 10 m/s (22.4 mph) wind feels like on the way back.

  • Plan

    Before each ride, I would check the weather forecast and try to estimate where exactly I would encounter the headwind. But guessing is not planning.

  • Develop

    With the help of my brain, neural networks, a bunch of strategies, and mistakes, I created Wind2Ride. The app is being developed in my free time from my main job, and it's not possible to implement everything quickly and all at once. I appreciate constructive feedback and assistance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Wind2Ride

Is Wind2Ride really free?

Yes! During beta, Wind2Ride is completely free — no ads, no subscriptions, no hidden costs.

I'd love to keep it free forever, but running the app requires paid services: weather forecasts (OpenWeatherMap), route calculation (OSRM), maps and geocoding (Nominatim), plus cloud sync (Firebase). Currently using free tiers, but scaling up means real costs.

After beta, there will be two plans: Free (basic features) and Pro (full functionality).

Which platforms are supported?

Currently Android only (Google Play). iOS version is planned for the future.

Built with React Native — iOS release will follow once the Android version is stable.

Do I need an API key for weather?

No! Weather data is included at no cost during beta. Wind2Ride uses OpenWeatherMap's accurate global forecasts. You just download and start using immediately.

Does it work offline?

Yes, partially. Works offline: View saved routes, Analyze wind (if weather cached), Edit routes on map, Local search (200km radius), Export GPX files.

Requires internet: New weather forecasts, Create new routes, Strava import, Cloud sync.

How accurate is the wind analysis?

Wind2Ride uses physics-based calculations: Wind direction relative to route bearing (0-180°), 5-category classification system, Speed impact formula, Real weather data from OpenWeatherMap.

95% accuracy compared to actual ride conditions, based on beta tester feedback.

Can I import routes from Strava?

Yes! Full Strava integration: OAuth sign-in, Import Activities, Import Routes, Automatic wind analysis applied, GPS optimization (87% fewer points for performance).

GPX files from any source (Garmin, Wahoo, Komoot) also supported.

How does cloud sync work?

Sign in with Google to sync up to 10 routes: Seed-based sync (1-2KB per route, 100x smaller than full routes), Routes regenerate on other devices automatically, Offline-first with pending queue, Conflict resolution.
