Sometimes Everything Starts with a Problem #
Every cyclist has the same issue - they want to show off their bike. But how do you do it properly? Cycling forums? Not enough space for photos. Instagram? Photos disappear in the feed. Facebook? Nobody looks at that anymore.
And that’s how the idea for BikeDo.app was born.
What Exactly Is BikeDo? #
It’s a web platform that allows you to create a detailed bike profile. Not just photos - a complete specification. Every component, every detail. From the frame to the tiniest screws.
And then? You generate a unique link and can show it off wherever you want. On forums, social media, to friends at the bike shop.
Simple example: Instead of writing “I have a new MTB”, you send a link to a complete profile with a photo gallery and specifications.
Technology Stack #
The backend is Laravel - a solid foundation with API. Frontend in React with JSX. Styling handled by Tailwind CSS.
Why these specific technologies? Laravel because it’s stable and fast for development. React because components scale beautifully. Tailwind because I don’t like writing CSS from scratch 😅.

Why Is It Worth It? #
Every cycling enthusiast has their stories. About how they searched for a specific part for half a year. Or how they modified the frame. Or how much they spent on a new gruppo.
BikeDo is a place where these stories can be told properly. With details, photos, specifications.
Bonus: When you’re selling your bike, you have a ready catalog with complete documentation. The buyer knows exactly what they’re buying.

That’s it. Simple as building a wheel.
Summary #
BikeDo.app isn’t just another cycling app. It’s a tool for those who take their bikes seriously. Who know that the devil is in the details.
The app is in beta phase, so it’s still evolving. But the foundations work solidly.

Enjoy! :)
