Route.ly - Discover and share the best driving routes around the globeIt all started a couple of months ago. I am a keen biker and on one of the rare sunny weekends the weather god bestows upon England I decided to take my motorbike out for a spin.

The problem is, I’m not English. I didn’t grow up here so I know very few routes outside of London. I didn’t have a specific destination and wasn’t looking for culture. All I wanted was a spectacular windy road with breathtaking views to enjoy myself doing what I like most. Driving.

I quickly fired up a browser and asked Google whether they knew of some good driving roads around me. Needless to say I couldn’t find anything except for some blog post detailing how the writer had a blast that day with their friends.

When I arrived home that evening I decided to build a website to do just that – Discover and share the best driving routes around the globe – and now, after a couple of months of work, Route.ly is here.

No more disappointingly random day trips for me, or any other biker in unknown surroundings all over the world!
