BiciZen

About BiciZen

We are a multidisciplinary team that aims to learn about urban mobility, public engagement and cycling through a citizen science platform that empowers urban cyclists with relevant travel information and supports cities in their transition to a low-carbon mobility future.

BiciZen allows you to share your cycling experiences and learn from other cyclists. You can share things such as where you feel safe or happy when cycling, where you found something obstructing your way that should be removed, where more cycling infrastructure would be needed, or even organize a bicibus to go to work or school with other cyclists.

What we want is to create a space where you can share the nice spots and areas to cycle in your city, so that other cyclists can enjoy them. We also want to allow you to report bad experiences and things that should be improved, because if they are not recorded, they are usually not dealt with. And finally, we want to offer a space to propose and imagine how cities should be changed so that they are more friendly to bicycles and cyclists.

The information collected through the app is available on our website, so that anybody can explore and learn using it. It will help cyclists improve their daily cycling routine, assist policymakers with direct feedback from the cycling community, and generate data for scholars who aim to inform urban mobility policy and learn about citizen science and public engagement processes.
