Blackbirdsport, developed by Beijing Blackbird Technology Co., Ltd., is a mobile application and community platform designed for cycling enthusiasts. Founded in 2013 by Gang Zhou and Tao Wei, the company is based in Beijing, China.
The core of Blackbirdsport is its mobile app, which allows users to track their rides using GPS, analyze professional cycling data, and share their records with friends and a wider community. The platform is built around a social concept, aiming to solve how, where, and with whom to ride. It features route planning, team location tracking, and the ability to find and join local cycling clubs and activities. The app supports integration with Apple's Health Kit and is available for both iOS and Android devices. The company has also ventured into hardware, developing smart bike computers like the Blackbird BB18, which syncs data with the app and supports connections to various peripherals such as power meters and heart rate monitors.
Blackbirdsport has successfully raised a total of $1.55 million over two funding rounds. Its latest funding was a Series A round in April 2016 from investors including Eagles Fund and Inno Angel Fund.
