Sydney’s 2nd cycle visualisation – “how we connect”
 We’re super excited to be doing this again. As well as putting together a short animation of your rides to work, we’ll show how cyclists connect thorugh population centres around Sydney.
We’ll be able to look at the busiest times, the busiest routes and we’ll be in a better position to understand more about how we cyclists are moving around the most beautiful city in the world.
Sounds good, what do I need to do to take part?
You can use a smartphone with GPS capabilities or a dedicated GPS unit. Instructions on how to extract the GPX file from your device can be found here: http://www.rideable.org.au/gpx-help/
Date and time to log my ride?
Tuesday 4th June 2013. We’ll be running the event from 5am (for the early birds!) to 9:30am.
How can I take part?
You can upload your cycle commute route to us using the online form which we’ll publish a little closer to the 4th June 2013. Once we have your route data, sit back and relax as we begin compiling the animation and map for you. Please give us a week or so to get animation ready for you.
When’s the deadline for getting my GPX file to you guys?
We’ll give you a few days but would like all files submitted by Friday 7th June.
Enough of the jibber jabber – what now?
Help us spread the word. We want to make this visualisation bigger than the previous one so it would be great if you could help get the word out.
Facebook and Twitter chatter
We’ll post updates out on Facebook and Twitter too.

* Rideable is a small project to help visualise how Sydney cyclists travel to work.

In cities where space is in short supply, you need to think outside the box in order to make room for everyone. When it comes to a cycle city like Copenhagen, with its countless cyclists, you also need to allocate parking space for both cars and bikes – this is where “flex parking” comes . . . → Read More: “Flex Parking”, where cars and bikes can both park

The roads and cycleway networks in NSW use an inductive loop detector as their form of detection. Wires in the surface of the road create a magnetic field. When that magnetic field is broken by a metal object it creates a pulse which allows for a phase in the traffic lights to be called.
