Live hazard alerts
Real-time warnings from Transport for NSW incidents, community reports and flood data, spoken aloud as you ride, so your eyes stay on the road.
Safety-scored routing for Sydney
Your cycling co-pilot for safer rides.
RideAware scores every route before you clip in, warns you about hazards as they happen, and looks out for you if the worst happens.
Free during beta · Built for Sydney riders
Everything a Sydney rider needs, before and during the ride
The safest route, right now
Every route is safety-scored before you roll. Pick Safest, Balanced or Fastest and see exactly why one scored higher than another.
We've got your back
Fall detection with emergency SMS: if you crash and don't respond to the countdown, your emergency contact gets a message with your live location.
Ride with peace of mind
Live ride tracking lets the people who worry about you follow your ride in real time, no phone calls at the lights required.
Every ride is one less car trip
See the CO2 you've saved, kilometre by kilometre, ride by ride. Good for you, good for Sydney, and a number your workplace or council can actually count.
Plan the perfect training loop
Tell RideAware a distance and it builds a loop from your front door, steering around hazards and stitching together the quiet stuff.
Three routes. Three scores. No guesswork.
Instead of one blue line, RideAware plans several and rates each out of 100. You see the trade-off between time and risk before you decide.

What goes into a safety score
Live hazards
Crashes, roadworks and closures reported minutes ago.
Cycling infrastructure
Separated cycleways and shared paths outrank painted lines.
Traffic
Volume and speed on every street segment along the way.
Surface
Gravel, tram tracks, potholes and steps you'd rather avoid.
Lighting
Lit routes are weighted higher after dark.
Water & flooding
Flood-prone underpasses drop out of the route entirely.
Fall detection & emergency SMS
If you go down, someone knows within seconds
Riding alone shouldn't mean being alone. Here's exactly what happens, and what doesn't.
- Step 1
A hard fall is detected
On-device motion sensing recognises the impact signature of a crash while you're riding.
- Step 2
You get a countdown to dismiss
A loud alarm and countdown appear. Tap once, because you're fine or it was a dropped phone, and nothing else happens.
- Step 3
Your contact is texted, and the dialler opens
If the countdown runs out, your emergency contact receives an SMS with your live location, and the 000 dialler opens ready for you or a bystander to press call.
RideAware never calls emergency services for you. It opens the 000 dialler so a human makes that decision. Fall detection depends on your phone's sensors, battery and mobile coverage, and can miss falls or trigger on rough descents, so treat it as a backup, not a guarantee.
