What does the RideWindow ride score measure?
It is a 0–100 score for one hour at one place, built from temperature, rain, wind, visibility, road grip and daylight. Near-freezing temperatures after rain, visibility under 200 m and gusts over 90 km/h force it to 0 (No-Go), and reduced grip caps it. It is a weather opinion, not a safety guarantee.
Why the weather matters in Cologne
Cologne: on the Rhine between the Bergisches Land to the east and the Eifel to the south-west, both within easy reach — and the Nürburgring beyond.
The score is not a comfort number. It prices the things that actually stop a ride: freezing rain with wet roads, visibility under 0.2 km, and gusts over 90 km/h all veto the hour outright, and the grip estimate caps a greasy-road hour even when the rest reads as a recommendation.
What the live forecast adds
- A 0–100 ride score for every hour over the next seven days, with the points behind it.
- The best 2–8 hour ride windows, ranked by average score.
- The grip estimate — friction against a clean, well-maintained road.
- Warnings: the vetoes that force an hour to No-Go.
- A personalized score when you're signed in with a rider profile.
