Build the Commons with us.

The Cycling Commons is built by the people who use it — in code, in local knowledge, and in everything around them. It's early, it's open, and there's room for you.

A commons doesn't grow by hiring; it grows by people showing up. Here's where we need hands.

Lend your skills

Help build and sustain it.

Developers

Build the platform itself: the Symfony backend and API, the MapLibre map, and the data pipeline in Python and PostGIS (routing, elevation, OpenStreetMap import).

02 · GROW

Social media & community

Tell the story and grow the rider base: write the blog, run the channels, welcome newcomers, and keep the community healthy as it scales.

03 · SUSTAIN

Fundraisers & grant writers

Open-data and sustainable-mobility grants, EU cycling funding — the runway that keeps the Commons free and independent.

04 · PROTECT

Legal & governance

The independent foundation setup, ODbL / CC licensing, contributor terms, and GDPR — the structure that keeps it open for good.

Get in touch →

Also welcome: translators, designers, OpenStreetMap mappers, photographers, and partnership-builders (cycling clubs, tourism boards, bike-friendly stays). Don't see your role? Tell us what you'd bring.

Start now

A commons grows when people show up.

Code, local knowledge, or a few hours of expertise — all of it moves the map forward. The door's open.
