Routero

Hey guys, if you're new to the fb page I just wanted to say hello 👋 and thank you for checking out Routero!

I recently went on Bruce's podcast and had an awesome time if you haven't seen this already. At Routero I plan for it to become a new UK grass roots motorcycle brand, not just an app! The podcast video explains a little more in detail if you're inclined for podcast material and may be a fun watch with a cuppa ☕

Hope everyone is keeping well.

🎬 NEW EPISODE OUT NOW!

Can a Hollywood stuntman build the ultimate motorcycle community app? 🏍️🔥

This week on Bru Time, I’m chatting with Nathan Watton, the creator of Routero

Nathan has spent over a decade working as a professional stuntman, doubling for legendary actors and taking some brutal hits on set. But as a rider, he got tired of using clunky corporate apps to find decent spots in the UK. So, after putting his kids to bed, he spent two years teaching himself to code to build a completely free, grassroots app for the community.

We talk about surviving explosive stunt injuries, turbo-kitting engines, and how Routero’s features - like the “Surprise Me” route planner, verified cafe logs, and a trust-rated “Freecycle” gear marketplace - are shifting the UK biking scene.

We also tackle your questions, talk about the mindset of endurance riding, and argue about red vs. brown sauce. 🥓👇

A real life superhero 😎💪

In the Mexican city of Lagos de Moreno, in the state of Jalisco, motorcycle theft had become a constant problem. So someone decided to do something about it, in the most comic-book way imaginable.

Over the course of about ten days, suspected motorcycle thieves started turning up duct-taped to lampposts and utility poles around the city. At least five men have been found this way. In some cases, the stolen motorcycle was left sitting right next to the bound suspect, like a receipt showing exactly why he was there.
Locals quickly gave the anonymous figure a nickname. The Batman of Lagos de Moreno.

The internet ran with it, cheering him as a real-life vigilante finally doing what they felt the authorities would not. The legend grew with every photo, an unseen man stalking thieves after dark and leaving them strapped up in public for everyone to see.

But the story has a complication. Some of the men were found with their mouths taped and signs that they had been beaten, and police are not treating this as heroism. Authorities in Jalisco have opened investigations and are classifying the tied-up men as assault victims, not charging them as thieves.

Which leads to the twist. The masked man the public is calling a hero is now the one being hunted. The Batman of Lagos de Moreno is officially wanted by police, while the suspects he tied up are being treated as the victims.

There is even a question of whether "Batman" is a single person at all, or a group working together. For now, his identity is a mystery, and the debate rages on over whether he is a criminal, a hero, or a little of both.

Unpopular opinion… 🇬🇧🏍️

I genuinely believe the UK has the best motorcycle community in the world.

We nod to each other, stop to help strangers at the roadside, support local cafés and businesses, and always seem to look after one another

I don’t think anyone does it better!

Whats your take ?

Are you still using 4 or 5 different apps for Screenshots, saved posts and multiple groups just to organise one decent ride ?

One app for routes. Another for cafés. Another for bike nights. Another just to message people where you’re meeting.
