I’ve been running Calimoto for about six months now, mostly for local spins where the roads are… let’s be honest… pretty straight and pretty dull. In this video I dig into whether Calimoto actually helps you find something interesting to ride when you’re not blessed with endless twisties on your doorstep. I talk through how I’ve been using it, what I like about it for route planning, and where it can still leave you a bit “meh” if your area is basically a ruler on a map. The big takeaway is that Calimoto can absolutely add value if you’re the kind of rider who wants to get out, hit a button, and be nudged toward the better bits you might otherwise miss—especially when you’re trying to make a quick ride feel like an actual ride. But I’m also straight about the limits: an app can’t magically invent corners where there aren’t any. If you’re debating paying for it, I frame it around expectations—if you want help stitching together the best available roads, it’s worth a look; if you expect it to turn straight roads into the Alps, you’re going to be disappointed.
