Not sure if anyone has seen this yet, (or if someone here made it :p), but I came across this very cool google maps interface that shows available city cycle stations…Continue

Jayden replied to Paul Martin's discussion 'Various Infrastructure Annoyances'
when did that 'bikeway stop sign' pop up next to the old ABC Toowong site (archer street)? It must be recent because I only recently noticed it. Seems silly to add one - there never used to be one there, and the stop sign for archer street…

though since I ride it so often it requires a fair bit of regular maintenance, since the crank is (~30%) broken :p. Just tightening of screws and stuff, since they always come loose

haha thanks for the story. They sure are a hell of a lot of fun to get around on. My malvern star is about that age as well; 1984-86
Paul Stockwell commented on Jayden's group 'Retro Riders'
I mentioned it in another thread, but I picked up a 1986 Repco Superlite a couple of weeks ago. With all the rain and some required maintenance on it, I finally got to take it out last weekend.
It was an interesting comparison to my more…

It wouldn't be overkill if people really could use them on a whim... One day maybe.
Chris Cox replied to Jayden's discussion 'Citycycle data map'
Yep, I'm amazed that there's one on Sylvan Road approaching Coronation Drive, one on Land St approaching Coronation Drive and then another 2 on the Bicentennial Bikeway barely 200m either side of the entrance from Land St. Seems like…

One thing I would add is that the scale of the circles should be locked to the view, not the map. In other words, the circles should stay the same size on-screen no matter the zoom level. This makes it easier to see, at a glance, whether the station…
Paul Martin replied to Jayden's discussion 'Citycycle data map'
That's brilliant! Wow, well done.
Now, quickly go and make a 99c app for mobile phones and you'll really nail it! :)
Elric Erekose replied to Jayden's discussion 'Citycycle data map'
I'd watch this space Paul... they are now in phase 2 with a whole lot more stations in the process of being rolled out or already so... a large bay already added at Kangaroo Cliffs I've see and ones going in Brisbane Square...
Steinhardt replied to Jayden's discussion 'Citycycle data map'
How about something like this?
http://steinhardt.dyndns.tv/dev/cityCycleCircles.php
The larger circles mean a lager total number of bays in a station. Darker circles mean less bikes available to use as a percentage of the total bays at that…
Shaun Moran replied to Jayden's discussion 'Citycycle data map'
Sounds great!
Steinhardt replied to Jayden's discussion 'Citycycle data map'
Hi guys. I made this.
I actually got the idea from this http://data.brisbane.qld.gov.au/index.php/showcase/hackfest-2nd-place-open-category-citycycle/#but its not live and I wanted to do a simpler live version. Having said that I will make a circle…
Paul Martin replied to Jayden's discussion 'Citycycle data map'
The App (Bixou) for the Bixi-style bikes (ie. Melbourne Bike Share) as opposed to the Vélib-style bikes (CityCycle) is much better.
Each station is represented by a circle. The diameter of the circle indicates the number of docks present.…
StephenW replied to Jayden's discussion 'Citycycle data map'
Yes, if you click on the station. I was thinking equivalent to 'Orange means very few' bicycles left. Say, 'Purple means very few empty docking stations'.
