Built by a cyclist who got tired of guessing. Started as a static wind tracker for one rider. Now it's a weather app that thinks like a cyclist, because it was made by one.

A ride, rewound.

SCENE A· WITHOUT VELOVANE· DWG VV-006 REV A

The ride you took.

A Saturday out-and-back. The forecast looked fine. You headed into a steady headwind, expecting the payoff on the way home. The wind had other plans.

You head out.

Headwind from the southwest. Not ideal, but you expect the payoff — tailwind on the way back.

Scene A · Reveal

This ride was
avoidable.

VeloVane saw the shift coming 18 hours before you turned around. The forecast data was there. Your weather apps just weren't reading it the way a cyclist needs to.

Five minutes
from waking

You check the wind.

12 mph from the west, steady. Gusts to 18, crosswind exposure low. VeloVane scores wind against your ride pattern, not just raw speed, but how it'll feel on the bike you actually ride.

You check the temperature.

54° outside. 47° on the bike. VeloVane knows you'll be moving at 17 mph. Standard apps miss this by ten degrees on a windy day, which is the difference between the right kit and a cold, miserable first hour.

Civil twilight at 6:12. The daylight bar confirms full light through the window. Seasonal shifts accounted for automatically. You're dressed for the ride you're actually taking, and the door is already open.

FAQ

Your ride questions, answered.

Regular weather apps show generic forecasts for everyone. VeloVane interprets weather data specifically for cycling — factoring in your riding speed for feels-like temperature, scoring wind conditions against your ride pattern, highlighting your best ride windows, and delivering a go/wait/skip recommendation tuned to your preferences.
