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.
Build the platform itself: the Symfony backend and API, the MapLibre map, and the data pipeline in Python and PostGIS (routing, elevation, OpenStreetMap import).
Start on GitHub →Tell the story and grow the rider base: write the blog, run the channels, welcome newcomers, and keep the community healthy as it scales.
Get in touch →Open-data and sustainable-mobility grants, EU cycling funding — the runway that keeps the Commons free and independent.
Get in touch →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.
Code, local knowledge, or a few hours of expertise — all of it moves the map forward. The door's open.
