Results from Testing #2

12 people(cyclists) were involved in this test, and I found...

1) Which scheme would you like to use?
A-(100%) / B-(0%)
2) Which scheme would you feel more comfortable with?
A-(92%) / B-(8%)
3) Which scheme would you feel have more privacy?
A-(0%) / B-(100%)
4) Would you like to have a list of all the cyclists you pass everyday in your route?
Yes-(58%), Why?
People would like to see other cyclists who
have the same interests, and furthermore they
probably think could have funs, but it doesn't mean
that they would like to stuck on line everyday.
No-(42%), Why?
Most of the reasons for refusing to this offer are
privacy issue, and some people think there would
be too much information provided to look at.
5) Would you like to contact with the people you met?
Yes-(67%), Why?
The two-third of people would like to meet new friends
by this cycling scheme, and they even expect some
interactions happened with each other.
No-(33%), Why?
Only one-third of people disagreed to communicate
the people who they don't know, some opinions are
about a complicated relationship, or about lacking motivation.

Testing #2

Scheme A of Recorded Route
Red spots are triggered by passing other cyclists.
The starting spot (Piccadilly Circus) means the first person
you met during your cycling route,
and the terminal spot (Charing Cross) would be the last one you met.
This recorded route you see here doesn't show
your departure point or your destination,
but you still know your route between the spots.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scheme B of Recorded Route
The picture shows red spots-these are triggered by passing other cyclists.
The starting spot (Piccadilly Circus) means the first person
you met during your cycling route,
and the terminal spot (Charing Cross) would be the last one you met.
From this picture below, your departure point and destination
are not be recorded, neither is your route between the red spots recorded.

Finding from Concept Testing

Most of the testees are interested in
this cycling scheme we're building on,
and they want to where they've been everyday
as well as the new friends they meet.

Apparently, cyclists would like to share their
portrait icons with others in public,
and it also seems they are interested in
sharing the recorded sound,
but a lacking requirement of presenting names.
Most of cyclists would like to joy in this scheme
and the results show this concept of passing messages
would be able to enhance cycling.
There is a big amount of replies from testees indicates that
privacy would be an issue of using this scheme.
