Bicycle navigation and bike routes for waze!!! Please!!
Can you please add bicycle routes to the app and ways to avoid roads that go over a certain speed limit? The option to set your vehicle as a bicycle and find routes like that avoid high speed roads and roads that dont allow bikes conbined with all of the other great functions of the app will be fantastic...
But since you don't have the feature so many bicyclists won't get to navigate with your app and get the same benefits that car drivers have... I really need a navigator for bikers that shows the speed limits of the roads and if they have biking lanes before you make the trip to plan your navigation.
You should have the setting to make your vehile a bike and find bike routes, and to calculate how much time a trip will take you just have to ask the bicyclist to input their average biking speed and make your route estimates like that. Then through tracking their speed when you give them navigates your estimates can become even more accurate.
It shouldn't just be for driving navigation but also for people who have to bike places and still need to find the fastest routes avoiding cops and traffic and all the other benefits that drivers have and bikers don't because the app can't calculate routes for us unless you please make an update taking my suggestions!!

Actually it should be the group's tail that should alert the hazard.

I see bike riders getting hit by cars all the time. Why not add a feature for bicycle riders, they can log in to a life gps. That way when you have your waze app on it will announce there is a bike rider up ahead. Some roads are narrow, some roads sharp turns. You hug a turn? You may hit a human on a bike. Once you pass the bike rider it disappears. It's a safe way for bike riders to let people know they are around the sharp turn since they cannot ride on sidewalks.

Bicycles are all over the place, add a feature that can track it and not cause Bicycle riders like me lol to give lots of odd GPS data.

permettre au cycliste d'utilisé l'application avec une catégorie pour eux dans le choix du véhicule et aussi avoir un itinéraire adapté sans autoroute ou rocade si possible

Hi,
I don't actually drive, im a cyclist, and ride a mountain bike,
I have a holder for a 3 by 5 inch screen,
I like using wase,
But it would be nice if it was also user friendly and compatible more supportive for cyclists to use it like a Garmin,
Thanks,

Bicycles are used more and more. To support features for people using bikes, the first thing to do is to extend the types with streets on the map with Bicycle Lane or Bikeway. Once that's in place new features to support cyclists can be added.

First I just want to say; I LOVE WAZE!!! I recommend it to everybody I know!!! I am now looking for a good navigation app for my bike but so far no success. Nothing is as user friendly and accurate as Waze. I guess I'm spoiled. Maybe a good idea to incorporate navigation for bikes in the app. You know with the environment and all changing, more and more people use the bike.

Sounds like a good idea, as it's very necessary in Israel. Not once, I've came across with a big group of cyclists that are cycling on a small roads (like on the ways around Jerusalem and such) where there are lots of twists on those roads and drivers cannot know if there are cyclists when they turn. Sometimes those cyclists even interfere to the drivers to bypass them which is making it very annoying either.
Anyway, if I may add, when the cycling group leader will announce their location, it would track their location via the GPS, so every time they move, a symbol on the main Waze application will move with them. That way it will be easy to know their exact location.

Dear Waze,
The Holidays are just over here in Israel, and like most people i spent alot of this time driving
around.
On the road i noticed, that there are a lot of cyclists and cycling groups on the road and on the
side of the road.
Seeing them made me realize that there is no way to warn the other drivers from the cyclists
group on Waze, even though EVERYONE uses Waze to get around.
So, here's a thought, why not create a "CyclistsWaze"?
My idea is very simple. Create a form of "mini" Waze that designated only for cyclists and
cycling groups.
The main function of "CyclistsWaze" will be to allow the leader/head of the cycling group to
send his location and the amount of cyclists on the group at the start of the cycling,
and as the group ride, the "CyclistsWaze" will alert to Waze (that main one everyone is
uses) that there is a cycling group ahead.
The drivers will be able to take precautions for the cycling group safety and themselves.
When the cycling group will end the ride, they will able to announce it in the "CyclistsWaze"
and by so the alert will be taken off from Waze.
Giving this function to Waze users will allow a safer driving environment for both drivers
and cyclists.
"CyclistsWaze" can reach thousands of new users, and make Waze to the most up-to-date and
safe application for navigation.
To attract and keep the Cyclists users, you might want to add "CyclistsWaze" the function to
save the cyclist rout, average speed, and time. And allow users to share this information with
friends.
Sincerely yours
Orly Sharon

Please make an option for bikes as I use this while riding my motorcycle too. More riders will use it if you make it with biker friendly options.

Adding bicycle safe errors would help people who ride bikes

There is already the same idea, so remove this and give votes to the already existing idea

Create an option to use it for bikes, like other softwares are doing such as google maps
