Summary
ByCycling is an app to automatically and effortless log your bike rides and which allows you to earn great rewards when commuting by bike to work. ByCycling aim to help companies swap car [commute] trips for bikes, having an effective approach to get more people cycling and change behavior.
Based on some research and feedback, we found that in order to effectively stimulate cycling to work and change behavior we needed to make the platform user-centric. We believe that the right formula is to make something hassle free, personally rewarding and engagingly fun.
We make it easy and effortless for people to use by allowing the user to log their activities automatically. The user is basically not required to interact with the app. ByCycling can recognize different modes of transportation and display the bike rides only. We make it satisfying and rewarding by collaborating with employers to provide rewards to their workforce. These rewards can range from cash or extra paid holidays, for example; recognizing their sustainable effort. And we make it engaging by encouraging users and colleagues to compete against each other via a leaderboard.
ByCycling can also collaborate with governments and cities providing anonymized mobility data which enables insights and analysis of bicycling routes and commute patterns around the world. The data can be collected down to the minute at every geographic point on a city grid 24/7 and glean insights into cycling patterns dissected by time of day, day of week, routes patterns, trips, distance traveled and time spent.
