How it works

Every cycling wiki on whereto.bike is built by the people who ride those routes. Here’s how that works in practice.

Anyone can edit

You don’t need an account to contribute. Visit any route page on the site, tap edit, and your changes go live within minutes. Add a photo from your ride, update a description, fix a mistake — it’s that simple.

If you want credit for your contributions, create an account with a passkey. No passwords to remember.

Every edit is tracked

Every change made to the site is saved with a full history — who changed what, and when. If something goes wrong, admins can revert any edit with one click. This is the same model Wikipedia uses: open editing with community oversight.

The site is always on

The public cycling wikis are plain web pages. They load fast, work on any device, and don’t depend on a server being up. The editing tools run separately — if they go down for maintenance, every route page keeps working.

Built for independence

All the content — routes, photos, events, descriptions — is stored in an open format that isn’t tied to any one company or service. The guides can be moved to any hosting provider. No lock-in, no proprietary formats.
