1. Selecting a Trip Purpose:

• Tap "Trip Purpose" on the Record New Trip screen.

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" from the Trip Purpose menu.  You can always attach an explanatory note to your data before transmitting.

• After making your selection, tap "Save." You’ll return to the Record New Trip screen.

2. Personal 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 which are optional and confidential. If you wish to give us your email address (which will not be shared with any third parties), you will be entered into a drawing for a gift certificates to local area bicycle shops as well as receive updates on the progress of this study.

• Tap “Personal Info,” fill out the form, and tap "Save."

3. Recording a bike trip:

• After selecting a trip purpose, tap "Start."
• The screen will lock and dim, to conserve battery life.
• At the end of your trip, unlock the phone and tap "Save" to upload your data to the LCOG’s server. Add a comment if you like.
• You can choose not to save or transmit any trip for any reason. Simply quit the app rather than tapping "Save." No data will be transmitted.

In order to remind you that the app is running and to save your battery, your iPhone will ring like a bicycle bell and vibrate after 15 minutes, and every 5 minutes thereafter. If CyclesLane is running when your iPhone battery reaches less than 20% of its charge, the app will automatically stop collecting data and quit.

Steps to make sure CycleLane works properly

• DO NOT push the "Sleep/wake" button on top of your iPhone while running CycleLane: it will stop recording and you’ll lose your trip data. The app must be visible on your screen in order to work properly; the screen is dimmed to conserve battery life.
• DO NOT push the "Home" (main menu) button while on your ride or CycleLane will stop recording.
• DO NOT change tracks or playlists in iPhone’s iPod while running CycleLane. Begin play before starting CycleLane.
• If you receive a call in the middle of a ride, CycleLane will stop recording while you are on the phone. When you finish the call, CycleLane will restart and resume recording.

Sharing your Saved Trip maps

"Saved Trips” shows maps, dates and start times of your trips. You can share the maps with others:

• Tap Saved Trips at the bottom of your screen to see your list of previous rides.
• Choose one, zoom in or out, and take a screenshot.
• Share the screenshot via email or download it to your computer.
