Our pitch to the GeoVation dragon's den -style event.

1. Crowd-sourced cycling solutions
 Aim: get more people cycling, more often
 Help cycling advocacy groups to improve infrastructure
 Proposal: crowd-sourced cycling issue management website

2. What’s the problem?
 Cycle-unfriendly streets put people off cycling
 Fixing the problems requires political pressure
 Cycle campaign groups around country provide this
 Voluntary groups suffer usual problems
 Systems to manage poor
 Best practice poorly accessible
 Add geographical basis
 High barrier to volunteer entry
 Solutions-based

3. Our solution:
 Design targeted to these
groups’ workflow
 Easily pinpoint where cycling is difficult
 Integrate planning applications, collision data, ...
 Pull in best practice
 Prioritise
 Discuss easily: auto elist+forum per location/theme
 Include Councils in discussions
 Assemble 'solution' resources

4. Execution
 Add to existing codebase, API, apps
 Feature list reasonably mature
 create finalised spec
 £30k = polished, highly user-friendly system
 Achievable with 20k, but will mean compromises
 Interface designer (Information Architecture is key)
 2 developers - 10 weeks: workflow, geo data integration
 Designer and JS developer
 Hosting
 CycleStreets has proven record of delivery

5. Next steps
 Ready to get going
 Existing database of 27,000 locations
 Proven demand: clear support from groups
 No scalability issues
