Story Board

Here is a scheme for cyclists, and this system aims to enhance
a cycling community through illustrating the small interactions
between cyclists.

please follow each step with the description of each picture below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Before riding on your bike]
1) Go online and sign up our website.
2) You set a username, image and sound recording:
these act as a limited profile.
3) There is no SMS or email facility on the system.
When setting out, you instruct the PDA to register your departure point.


[During cycling]
1) As you ride, your route is recorded to the web via GPS.


Two things happen when cyclists pass other cyclists:
2) Online - when you come close to another cyclist in the scheme,
this moment is marked on your map of your route (and their map of their route).
3) On the street - when you come close to another cyclist
in the scheme an information exchange occurs:
4) Your pda tells you their departure and destination points (and their pda tells them yours).
The sound file you have recorded is shared with the other cyclist and theirs with you.
Moooo! Is the user name on your PDA too?




[After finished cycling, got destination]
When you arrive, you instruct the PDA to record your end point.
When you have completed your journey you can view it online:
1) You will see a map of your route.
2) On your route are links to points where you have come close to other cyclists.
3) Rollovers on the points on your route bring up the username
and image of this cyclist you have come close to.
4) You can click on these points to show you the journey of other cyclists
in the scheme who have come close to your path.
5) When you click on a point of 'coming close' on your route,
the route of this other cyclist's journey becomes visible (and yours fades back) -
on the route are clickable points where other cyclists have come close:
if you click one of these points it makes this new route visible
and makes others fade back more.
