Place Digital Twin

Route

One-way, round-trip, family distance, e-bike pacing, parking, and the return-to-car problem are treated as one itinerary.

Logistics

Rentals, buses, and backups

Bike shop options, Roam Transit constraints, shuttle tradeoffs, and practical fallback plans for groups stay connected to the route.
