The Yoxi design competition asked us to to produce a solution to a problem: how do we get occasional cyclists to adopt cycling as a part of their everyday life? Bike Tab is a mobile application that connects cyclists to each other through rewards, games, motivations and challenges. It also connects cyclists to their city with route sharing, bike storage information and personal trip statistics. Bike Tab makes cycling a fun, seamless and rewarding part of your everyday life. Urban Futurists believe that if riding your bike is a game, everyone wins.

The simplest way to get people on bikes isn’t through legislation, more bike lanes, or technology but a change in attitude. Team !ola proposes a multi-platform, character-driven campaign that highlights biking-related issues in unexpected ways. Standing in a bike lane? A glance at the nearby pink arrow poster will remind you to step out of the way. By shifting perspectives, we intend to foster safer, more enjoyable biking conditions and encourage you to hit the road on a regular basis. Special thanks to Winslow Porter, Fillipo Vanucci, Marko Manriquez, Meredith Hasson, Adam Lassy, Jill Hafele, Tim Haynes and Adele Pham.

Though everyone thinks it’s a laudable idea, no one has figured out how to get bike sharing to work in New York City. It’s simply too complicated and too expensive. Unless you’ve already got a a tracking and storage infrastructure in place, like Zipcar. Zip It! is a proposal to extend Zipcar’s promise of “wheels when you want them” to include bicycles. With over 200 secure parking locations in Manhanttan, it’s possible to pick up a bike within a couple of blocks of where you are and drop it off within a couple of blocks of where you’re going so it never needs to be unattended on the street. Best of all, it requires no new technology. Win win!
