How it works

We first download the app to our smartphones and also in our children's mobile phones. Then we login using a email or Facebook account. Once logged in, the app allows us to choose the parent version or the child version. The child's version has limilted accessibility in the sense that, it would not allow the user to create or modify routes without the parent's permission. The map page is potentially linked to apps such as google maps and Waze. Here, the (parent) user can search for different bicycle routes in their locality and start a trip. The trip includes information such as estimated duration, popular attractions and food options.
