What is it?

We are a team of urban planners, geographers, engineers and computer scientists that aim to learn about urban mobility, public engagement and cycling through a citizen science platform that empowers urban cyclists with relevant travel information and supports cities in their transition to a low-carbon mobility future.  

We propose developing an intuitive crowdsourcing tool for cyclists that will allow them to document their cycling experience, inform mobility policy, and generate valuable data for researchers studying cycling policy, public engagement, and computer science.
