Zag Daily: How does Pointz work?
Trisha: “Pointz is a safer mapping app for bike and scooter riders, and any users of micromobility who want peace of mind. We rank every single road in the US on a bike safety scale and provide routes using crowdsourced data to help riders get from A to B comfortably. You can search up a route just like you would on Google Maps and select one based on your unique customisations, such as a hill or trail preference, and how new you are to biking. With our premium subscription, we also provide 24-hour emergency roadside assistance. Safety is one of the top factors preventing people from completing their short journeys by bike, and our ultimate aim with Pointz is to give riders the reassurances they need to go out and ride.”
