Ideas

We are building the backbone for an open and flexible network. There are countless ideas for how we can put this to use. These include:

• Rider metrics — speed, miles, carbon offset, calories. Learn whether your commute is quicker depending on your route or time of day.
• Route metrics — identify bottlenecks, bike traffic, under-utilized lanes.
• Route-based alerts — know about obstructions and accidents, but only those that are on your usual route.
• Co-rides — join up with people who share your commutes for minimal-mass rides.
• Commute planning — based on real ride data, not driver data. Utilize rider feedback about hazards etc.
• Tag hazards — real-time (parked in bike lane) and long-term (dangerous intersections)
• Real-time alerts — lights or vibrating handle bars as you approach a dangerous intersection
• Bike lane maps — evaluate current and proposed bike lanes
• Community Building — games and competitions with friends or neighborhoods
• Sensemaking — log noise, road quality, sudden stops
