For all the pedal pushers out there that love long distance cycling. There are no gear requirements and no 'minimum distances' here.

Have you ridden for a cheeky overnighter or a 3 year global trek? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got panniers, bikepacking bags or just a backpack with the essentials? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got the latest in carbon engineering or your dads old 10 speed from the 70's? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Which are you using?

For most things (day trips, few km after work...) I use multiple of them.

Mapy.cz

online and offline mobile app
trip planner works pretty well
you can check out places (photos, reviews...) when online
well maped whole Europe
not enough information about roads (asphalt, paved, gravel...)
basically interactive version of KČT maps

Cykloserver.cz

can't find app
basic planner, but better for drawing your route
much more helpful info about roads
it is just automatically scaled paper map, so you have to know how to read it

Osm clients - I tried multiple of them.

Paper maps - from the same company that makes the Cycloserver maps. You can get set of them for about 100€ (CZ not sure about SK). There is just something special about planning trip on paper maps.

I've been impressed with how well cyclers.app works in my part of the US. It does a great job routing me to avoid car traffic even in suburban Texas.
