BikeBUDi

The BikeBUDi system is simple - it simply matches individuals with others cycling the same way so they can ride together.
Having joined the system members simply register their journey and the system automatically lists all potential bike buddy matches.

The matches are displayed in both table and map format, allowing the user to easily find the most suitable people.
Having found a match the user simply sends an automated email to any likely matches and arranges to travel together.
The system also calculates the financial and CO2 saving each user is making compared to making that journey by car.

Anyone over 16 who can ride a bike! The idea is not just to help current cyclists to find bike buddies but also to encourage individuals who may be concerned about cycling to give it a go.
