Biketastic documents the bicycling experiences of the participants. It concentrates on the road conditions, including the roughness of the road and the noise level along the road captured by on-board accelerometers and micro- phone, respectively. The captured data can be reviewed by the cyclists themselves, but can also be merged with other participants’ data or combined with additional parameters, such as air quality and traffic properties, in order to construct complete maps for the cycling community.
