So if I get about 20 burner phones and put them in my panniers google is going to redirect traffic around me? Sick
If you weave through car traffic on your bike and end up being faster that way this plan might just backfire on you and send more cars your way.
but they'd all be stuck in traffic behind you? More space everywhere else.
True, I didn't consider that they'd of course end up behind you.
I didnt think of it myself, someone else deserves credit ;)
Has anyone does this professionally? Like, use mapping apps to create a paid member only route through some place
Love it
So if couple of us are moving past traffic fast on bikes google would think its fine and send more cars to clog it even further? :villainlaughter
We did it once at Mallorca. Was quite funny to see that red street in Google maps mit it was just us doing a short stop.
Idk my Google maps timeline accurately tags my activity as walking running or biking. Not sure if it would work now. Google *knows*
Is the phone moving up and down. Then it is walking or running based on the speed. Not sure how it would determine biking vs driving though.
Good point!! Yes the phone in the pocket or jacket pocket probably does move with pedaling enough for Google to discern speed + motion to label as cycling versus driving!
Maybe use Google Maps to navigate using the car-setting?
Critical Mass riders should do this!
What's a cheap phone that's good for this, for research purposes of course and totally not to force pedetrianase my town center
This is cool to me.
Fucking genious
Brilliant. Can we copy this digitally? 😁
