RideCast turns the forecast into one simple answer: is it a good time to ride? A personalised Ride Score from the conditions that actually matter — rain, wind, temperature, your route and the times you travel.
Free to use · 7-day free trial on Commuter Mode · No spam, ever.
A 25 km/h wind might be fine for one rider and miserable for another. A dry morning doesn't help if the rain arrives on your ride home. RideCast reads the forecast through a rider's eyes, then gives you a clear verdict.
Great conditions. Get out there and enjoy the ride.
Rideable with caution. Dress for it and pick your window.
Probably better to skip it. The car might win today.
No weather charts. No guesswork. No staring out the window hoping for the best.
RideCast combines the conditions that matter most into a personalised Ride Score from 0 to 100 — because "good riding weather" is different for everyone.
Open RideCast and immediately see everything you need to decide — without digging through an hourly forecast.
Conditions change fast. RideCast scans the forecast and highlights the best available riding window — so you dodge the worst of the rain, wind and cold.
See how the whole week is shaping up, too, and spot the good days before your schedule fills up. Perfect for training rides, weekend trips and flexible commutes.
RideCast adjusts its recommendations to suit you — not an imaginary "average" rider.
More cautious around rain, wind and difficult conditions.
A practical middle ground for everyday riders.
More comfortable riding through challenging conditions.
Save your home and work routes to get a route-specific forecast for both sides of your day. Because a perfect ride into work can still become a miserable ride home.
