How to use CycleLane for Android

1. Recording a Trip

• Tap the Start Recording button to instantly start recording a bike trip. This will activate the GPS receiver on your phone and begin tracking your ride. You can tap the Pause button to temporarily stop or start receiving GPS updates. Click Finish when you're done with your ride.
• Thanks to Android's background-app capability, you don't need to do anything special to keep CycleLane running. You can put the phone to sleep or use other apps while recording. The small blue CycleLane icon in the notification bar will keep recording your moves. Note: LCOG does not recommend using your phone while you're in motion!
• In order to remind you that the app is running and to save your battery, your phone will ring like a bicycle bell after 15 minutes, and every 5 minutes thereafter. If CycleLane is running when your battery reaches less than 10% of its charge, the app will automatically stop collecting data and quit.

2. Selecting a Trip Purpose

We're interested in the MAIN purpose for each trip you make. Think about why you are out and about on your bike to begin with. If you're unsure how to categorize a trip, select "Other." You can always attach an explanatory note to your data before transmitting.

3. Personal Info

Tap Menu > Edit User Info. This is completely optional, and, if you choose to participate, only has to be done once. It involves a few basic questions useful to our study. They are optional and confidential.

If you wish to give us your email address (which will not be shared with any third parties), we can keep you updated on the progress of the study, and will enter you into a raffle for a gift certificate to a local area bicycle shop.
