Easy Rider

Biking to work could save you thousands a year, but busy roads keep people in their cars. Easy Rider races three commuters (driving, the fastest bike route, and the calmest bike route) and shows what each one costs a year. The calm route follows protected bike lanes and steers around busy roads.

It won the Hack Dearborn pre-event mini-hackathon, built solo against three four-person teams.

Since the hackathon

Choosing your own start and destination didn't make the cut in time. It was finished after the event and now works for any commute in metro Detroit.
