Apollo is a weather app built for cyclists. It provides personalized ratings for ride conditions, detailed weather forecasts across routes, and planning tools to help cyclists choose the best times to ride.
Summary
Apollo is the go-to weather app for cyclists. It's perfect for planning weekly rides with confidence and precision.
Apollo helps cyclists answer 3 key questions:
- What are the best days to ride during the week?
- What are the best hours to ride?
- How should I prepare for the conditions?
What Makes Apollo Weather Different?
Apollo was created by a cyclist, for cyclists. It's built around the real needs of riders, helping them make better training decisions with weather data that actually matters. The following features set Apollo apart from general-purpose weather apps, delivering a planning experience tailored to cyclists and their unique challenges.
Ideal Conditions and Ratings
The user experience prioritizes training decisions and planning. All hourly forecasts have PERFECT, ACCEPTABLE, or BAD ratings depending on pre-configured ideal conditions and active times. Ratings are based on the rider’s personal preferences instead of a mysterious formula.
Apollo supports Wet Bulb Global Temperature (WBGT) for hourly forecasts and ratings. WBGT is a better tool for cyclists to track heat conditions during the summer because of its increased accuracy when measuring in direct sunlight.
Weather Groups and Route Analysis
Weather Groups help cyclists track hourly forecasts across multiple locations. Cyclists can monitor weather conditions before leaving for a ride, add a route to visualize the journey, and simplify planning and preparation.
Weather Groups help riders choose the right gear, pick the best days and times to ride, plan hydration and fueling strategies, and avoid challenging headwinds for a safer, more enjoyable journey.
