Cyclebee Launches – and Could Finally Make Bike Trips More Relaxed
If you've ever tried to plan a longer bike tour or even a cycling vacation, you probably know the drill:
15 open tabs.
3 different map apps.
A PDF with a bike path somewhere.
A forum post from 2017.
And in the end, you suddenly find yourself riding next to a highway without a bike path.
This is exactly where Cyclebee wants to step in.
The Graz startup is working on a new all-in-one platform for bike trips — including inspiration, planning, navigation, and community features. And honestly: That sounds pretty exciting.
What Cyclebee Wants to Do Differently
Cyclebee's approach is refreshingly atypical.
It's not about "higher, faster, further".
Not about KOMs, wattage, or whether you can ride 180 kilometers a day with just two granola bars.
But about the question:
"How does this route actually feel?"
The app evaluates individual sections based on characteristics such as:
Traffic
Surface
Riding experience
Suitability for your own riding style
This means:
If a section is too stressful for you, you don't have to re-plan the entire route — you simply swap out that specific part.
That's a surprisingly smart approach.
Especially for:
Leisure cyclists
Families
E-bike riders
Groups with different fitness levels
People who just want to travel relaxed
Particularly Exciting: Group Trips
Cyclebee doesn't just think of bike trips as "I'm going somewhere alone".
The platform wants to make joint planning easier:
Collect routes
Bookmark sections
Integrate accommodations
Combine public transport
Organize ideas together
If you've ever tried to plan a group bike tour with five people, you know:
It usually ends in 47 WhatsApp messages and at least one person who suddenly "joins in everywhere".
A Graz Project with a Big Idea
Cyclebee was founded in Graz and has been intensely focused on the topic of bike trips for several years. According to their own statement, the team is working on a system that aims to make bike trips more accessible — even for people who have never traveled by bike before. (cyclebee)
And that's exactly what we like at BikeGraz.
Because cycling doesn't always have to be about sport.
Sometimes it's enough to have:
a free afternoon,
good weather,
a somewhat motivated group of friends
and somewhere an ice cream by the water.
Why We Find This Interesting
At BikeGraz, we are also heavily focused on digital cycling experiences:
self-guided sightseeing tours
community features
event calendar
tour suggestions
bike alarms
local recommendations
That's why we are watching projects like Cyclebee with great interest.
Especially because it's not just about navigation — but the entire experience around cycling.
Early Bee: Early Access is Already Running
Currently, Cyclebee is in a soft launch.
If you want to be early, you can sign up today and tomorrow as an "Early Bee" and get pre-access to the app. (cyclebee)

We are not being paid for this article.
We simply think:
More good cycling projects from Graz = a good thing.
