Spotcycle Lab

The results are in and we’ve tabulated your feedback: we now introduce Spotcycle Lab™, the next generation in bike share companion applications.

Spotcycle Lab builds on our Spotcycle™ platform and is our take on a user-driven bike share app.
Besides locating bike share stations, available bikes and docks (just like in Spotcycle), we’ve introduced new, cutting-edge features unique to Spotcycle Lab such as the Reality+ overlay and convenient station clustering.
But it doesn’t end there — with a built-in feedback feature, Spotcycle Lab provides a platform that makes it easy for you to send us your comments.
Based on your feedback, some of these features might eventually make their way to Spotcycle, but Spotcycle Lab aims to be an ongoing project whose development responds to user feedback… think of it as your community bike share application.

You can also send feedback via lab.spotcycle.net, or tweet us using the #SpotcycleLab hashtag.
