Hows much does it cost to join CyclistNexus?

Membership in the community is free. We only ask that you provide a valid email address and that you read and agree to our Terms of Use.

Which web browsers does the site support?

Our software designers have worked hard to create a standards based web application and our goal is to support all modern standards compliant web browsers. Some of the functionality on our site uses a mapping service provided by Google Maps. Their browser requirements are listed here

What should I do if I find a problem with the web site?

While we're hopeful that technical difficulties will be few and far between, we know that things don't always go as planned. If you encounter something on our site that doesn't appear to be working correctly, please visit our support forum

What is the benefit of using CyclistNexus if there are no other users near me?

One of the great things about the design of the CyclistNexus web service is that it is useful to cyclists who are already part of a community as well as to cyclists who ride on their own. If you don't have access to a cycling community in your area, or if you're more comfortable cycling on your own, you can still use the site to map your favorite routes and view distance and elevation information. In addition, you can log your riding and other activities and generate reports to help you track your training goals.

I'm the president of an area cycling club. Can we use CyclistNexus to help organize our club activities?

We sure hope you will. The CyclistNexus site was designed with cycling clubs in mind. You'll find features like cycling groups, event scheduling, and discussion boards that can help make the day-to-day management of your club's activities easier and more effective.

I live in Canada (or Tokyo, or Rome, or Londres, France). Can I use Cyclist Nexus?

The short answer is yes. CyclistNexus uses a comprehensive mapping service provided by Google and TeleAtlas that includes Canada, Tokyo, Rome, and of course, Londres, France. Our mapping providers are continually updating and improving their cartographic databases and if you do happen to find a gap in the coverage, please stay tuned because you may be surprised at how fast it is corrected.

How can I invite my friends to join CyclistNexus?

Members can invite friends to CyclistNexus by clicking on the Tell a Friend link that's shown in their user profile and in many other areas of the site. By inviting friends with this link, you become eligible to earn Peleton Points when your friends join.

What are Peleton Points and why would I want them?

Peleton Points are a way of tracking a CyclistNexus member's contributions to the online community. Whenever a member participates in the community, by creating a route, scheduling an event, or doing other activities that are a natural part of being a member, they earn Peleton Points. Your Peleton Point score is an indicator to others of your level of involvement and your contribution to the community. Members who achieve a high Peleton Point score enjoy higher prestige in the community and a few extra stars next to their username in their profile.

I'm a bike shop owner or other small business person, can I join using the name of my business?

Again, the short answer is yes. We encourage commercial members who are active participants in their local cycling community to become members.

I want to market my own web site, can I join?

Membership in the CyclistNexus community is limited to individuals and businesses that are joining for the purpose of using the site's features and contributing to the CyclistNexus community. The Terms of Use specifically prohibit use of the site for commercial purposes other than those directly related to participation in the cycling community. We hope that you'll consider advertising with us instead.

How can I advertise a web site, product, or service on your site?
