HELP MAKE CHARLOTTESVILLE A BETTER PLACE TO BIKE!

Cville Bike mApp uses your iPhone’s GPS support to record your bicycle trips, display maps of your rides, and help transportation planners make the City of Charlottesville and Albemarle County a better place to bike. At the end of each trip, data representing your trip purpose, route, and the date and time are confidentially sent to the Charlottesville-Albemarle Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). You’ll be helping Charlottesville’s and Albemarle’s transportation planners better understand the needs of cyclists—and you’ll get to see maps and statistics of your rides.

EASY TO USE: Record a bike trip with Cville Bike mApp in four easy steps:

1. Tap “Trip Purpose” on the Record New Trip screen. We’re interested in the main purpose of your trip.

2. Select a purpose on the Trip Purpose screen. Tap “Save.”

3. Back on the Record New Trip screen, tap “Start.” Cville Bike mApp will lock and dim your screen and begin recording your trip.

4. At the end of your trip, unlock the phone and tap “Save” to upload your data to the MPO’s server. Add a comment if you like.

All data will be collected confidentially.

Personal Info data involves a few basic questions useful to our study, but they’re optional and confidential. If you wish to give us your email address (which will not be shared with any third parties), we can keep you updated on the progress of the study and enroll you in our raffle.

In order to remind you that the app is running and to save your battery, your iPhone will ring like a bicycle bell and vibrate after 15 minutes, and every 5 minutes thereafter. If Cville Bike mApp is running when your iPhone battery reaches less than 10% of its charge, the app will automatically stop collecting data and quit.

SHARE MAPS OF YOUR RIDES WITH OTHERS:
• Tap Saved Trips at the bottom of your screen to see your list of previous rides.

• Choose one, zoom in or out, and take a screenshot (press sleep/wake and home simultaneously).

• Share the screenshot via email or download it to your computer.

TIPS TO MAKE SURE Cville Bike mApp WORKS PROPERLY:

• DO NOT change tracks or playlists in iPhone’s iPod while running Cville Bike mApp. Begin play before starting Cville Bike mApp.

• If you receive a call in the middle of a ride, Cville Bike mApp will stop recording while you are on the phone. When you finish the call, Cville Bike mApp will restart and resume recording.

• Be sure to stop recording at the end of your ride.
