About Us
The platform for cyclists and runners worldwide
Our Mission
Velunite was born from a passion for outdoor sport and the desire to create a reference point for cyclists and runners worldwide. We want to make group activity — on a bike or on foot — more accessible, safer and more fun.
Our Values
Community
We believe in the power of community. Velunite is a space where cyclists and runners can connect, share experiences and organize activities together.
Routes
We offer detailed routes with elevation profiles, points of interest and community ratings, for cycling and running alike.
Safety
Safety is our priority. Live tracking tools, reports and tips to make every ride or run safer.
Passion
We are cyclists and runners, for cyclists and runners. Everything we do comes from a passion for outdoor sport and the desire to share it.
What Makes Velunite Different
We use one app to track, Komoot to plan, WhatsApp groups to organize rides and runs, and Facebook groups to find training buddies: four different apps for the same job — whether you ride or run — and none of them doing it all well. Velunite was born from a frustration every cyclist and runner knows.
Activities with real headcounts
Create a ride or run and the community RSVPs for real: you instantly see who's actually coming. No more "so, who's in tomorrow?" lost in a hundred WhatsApp messages.
Routes without paywalled unlocks
Elevation, surface, difficulty and points of interest on every route, with no subscription needed to unlock regions or basic features.
Training buddies near you
Find cyclists and runners at your pace and level in your own area, not random followers scattered around the world you'll never actually meet.
Safety included, not an add-on
Live tracking and emergency contacts are part of the base platform, not a separate premium tier.
Our Story
Velunite was founded in 2026 by a group of passionate cyclists, tired of organizing rides through scattered WhatsApp messages — a "riding tomorrow?" thrown into the void, waiting for replies that often never came. The idea was simple: bring everything you need to train together — routes, activities, chat and community, on a bike or on foot — into a single platform. From there, a complete platform has grown that today helps thousands of cyclists and runners discover routes, organize activities and connect with a global community.
The Team
We are a small team of developers and cyclists, based in Italy — and we're building Velunite for runners too, not just cyclists. We work every day to make it the reference platform for cyclists and runners worldwide.
Newsroom and Journal
How we write the Velunite blog and Journal, how we choose sources, how we fix mistakes and how we handle advertising, affiliate links and sponsors: we explain it plainly.
