About Bikes vs Cars
This project is a part of the Bikes vs Cars movement. A community that creates its own climate effect. Our aim is to create impact through aggregated bike route data. More data gives us a communication tool to influence friends and those in power to make cities more bike-friendly.
It starts with the data
To make this work we need to ask you for a simple favor. We need to know where you ride your bicycle. Some people already track their activity for training purposes. That’s great but we also really want to take into account the short routes. Commuting to work or when you just take a quick ride to the grocery store. So remember to always track your rides!
Who’s the data for?
People who work in departments of transportation and city planners around the world need data like this to help them develop modern infrastructure and sustainable cities.
The data can also be very useful for other bike related products and services. The common goal is to make cities better adapted for bikes rather than cars. For us and the people to come.
The geo data collected by the app is anonymous and no login is required.
Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

UI is OK and simple.. But.. No login form, no personal record. So what this is all about?

doesn't seem to work with samsung 7 - you can start the ride but cannot end it. have to manually force quit the app to make it stop, so it is totally unusable. was also rather bummed to have to start at ground zero with the new phone.

What more could you want from an app that asks for your help to log data? A1 interface, so simple and easy to use, press a button and off you go (once you get satellite reception). Good work cobbers!

I have now used bikedataproject to connect the service to strava, using my Facebook account. How do I proceed and connect this app to Strava (or Facebook?) in order to automatically sync my data? I can't find a login form, but just the "record ride" bike symbol.

Which is the license of the data? Where could I download the data?

I'm a big fan of what bikes vs cars is doing. The app is a great idea, overall interface and everything is great. A lot of my rides don't record though, and the Mile counter almost never works. A lot of the time, I feel excited to add my co2 savings just to see it didn't record any of it.

Auto tracking still doesn't work. Tracking manually does work though. Otherwise I really like the idea behind this app! And it's simple, just collecting bike data, no need to creating an account or logging in or anything.
