Our most anticipated feature is finally arriving in Austin! Neighborhoods are officially launching on June 18, which includes a new & improved Bike Zone. Of the 50+ cities Favor serves across Texas, Austin is the only market with a Bike Zone because of its compact downtown and bikeable streets.

Stay Central

With Neighborhoods, you are now more in control of where you start and end your run. This is especially important for bikers — every mile counts when you’re pedal powered! Our new and improved Bike Zone covers a smaller, more dense area of downtown Austin.

You must be in our downtown Bike Zone to run via bicycle.

Better Assignments

Previously, it was possible to occasionally receive assignments that strayed outside of the Bike Zone. When creating Neighborhoods, our team analyzed thousands of Favors to design a new Bike Zone — and updated the assignment algorithm to match! We are still working on things like pizza orders (always reassign!), but have optimized assignment locations.

Bike Zone Only

Before Neighborhoods, it was also possible to accidentally start running as a bicycle outside of the Bike Zone which affected your assignments. You now must be in the Bike Zone to start running via bicycle.

🚲 See you on the streets! 🚲
