During the interview process, we learned that the emotional needs of cyclists are based on the interactions between groups, whereas their personal needs were comparatively more rational, such as the pursuit of superior data or scores and to challenge themselves. Future research development regarding cyclists should switch from individual experience to social needs and incorporate studies of psychological gratification.

1. Exchanging POI based on the distance (km)
travelled.
2. Collecting location achievement badge.
• Provision of information
1. The Augmented Reality of local information.
2. Comment of other cyclists on the road.
3. providing dangers sign.
4. Providing store & market around you.

10. Design
• Close to the crowd
1. Display friends that near you .
2. Share your information & picture to the
social website.
• Improve safety purpose
1. Showing dangerous path or previous
encountered date.
2. Mark dangerous sections avoid other
cyclists got hurt.

11. Implementation
We survey about 30 cyclists .
Most cyclist likely needed to be provide few following
function below and wish to update constantly .

12. • The road direction and sigh board
• Display the sign of toilets, stores, hospital

14. Conclusion
• We used crowdsourcing to solve the problems of cycling information
and companionship.
• During the interview process, we learned that the emotional needs of cyclists
are based on the interactions between groups, whereas their personal needs
were comparatively more rational, such as the pursuit of superior data or scores
and to challenge themselves.
• Future research development regarding cyclists should switch from individual
experience to social needs and incorporate studies of psychological
