Bicycle visualization and analysis @ gicentre
We are the city
Tracing the signatures of a single bicycle across London. Exhibit shown at Digital Shoreditch and Museum of London.
TEDx talk
A talk given at TEDx EastEnd on how visualizing bicycle journeys helps us understand why we cycle in our cities
Bicycle flow animation
The first five million London cycle hire journeys featured in New Scientist, The Guardian and The Economist.
BikeGrid
Live view of the bike availability in London's public cycle hire docking stations - mapped as a grid.
Cycle hire availability
Compare availability of public hire bikes and spaces over the last 24 hours with the situation one week ago.
Electric bicycle trial
As part of a trial for Transport for London, we attached GPS sensors to a fleet of eBikes and visualized their journeys.
Long distance cycling
What happens when 1000 cyclists ride from London to Edinburgh? And then back again. In just four days.
Visualizing risk
How do you visualize risk associated with cycling that reflects the tiny probability of incidents?
One-year time trial
In 1939, Tommy Godwin rode 75,065 miles on his bike. In 2015 three riders try to break this world record...
Paris-Brest-Paris 2015
Interactive exploration of riders' progress during the 2015 Paris-Brest-Paris randonnee.
Velo club de vis
When we're not working we like to ride our bicycles. But even then we don't leave work behind...
