SPIN transforms city streets into a playground for cyclists. This is made possible through an interactive handle-bar giving any bike a haptic interface to track personal performance and routes.
This device consists of three sections:
An intelligent light - blinker system, increasing the bikers visibility;
a real-time buzz, informing you about things to look out while cycling;
and a gameshifter, making biking in the city a fun experience.
As every cyclist is part of the SPIN online community, the collected information is simultaneously shared with other members, creating a relevant crowd-sourced database.
