## Overview

CyclingNets is a Django cycling community for discovering and organizing events, sharing bike-related posts, and managing user accounts. A browser request enters through project URL routing and reaches the relevant app views; those views validate forms, operate on domain models, and render pages or return API responses. Event participation and the REST event API are distinct event workflows. The README also describes route sharing, though the sampled code does not establish its implementation. Several view-to-model and routing links are evidenced; persistence details beyond the documented PostgreSQL stack are not sampled.
