Leading smart cities are often bicycle-friendly, not only because a multitude of modes for transportation promotes flexibility, but because bicycles can automatically collect data. That can either happen on the state of city bicycle paths or with apps such as Strava.
With Strava, cyclists track their route, and the company sells access to this data to city planners, who in turn can use the information to determine where cyclists prefer to commute, and then adapt.
At the International Cycling Safety Conference at the University of California, Davis, in a few days, it will be explored how smart and connected sensors can benefit cyclists, prevent pollution and congestion, improve physical fitness of city-dwellers, and much more.
