About Pointz

Pointz is a safety-focused mapping app that helps people on bikes, scooters, and other micromobility vehicles find better ways around cities. Crowdsourcing is used to improve the map and reflect real-time conditions. Pointz pre-rates roads on a 1-5 bike friendliness scale based on complex sets of attributes from available datasets. Then riders can submit rating updates and add additional information to the map like bike lane obstructions, dangerous intersections, and more.
