ParkMeBike

Whats all this then?

Out somewhere new on the bike and need a snack? Need somewhere decent to park your bike?

The ParkMeBike allows users to find cycle parking spaces nearby or anywhere you look on the map.

For privacy concerns and security reasons, users must sign up to the app before the first use and sign in if they signed out previously.

(Currently ParkMeBike is under reviewing and refactoring for better performance. Any updates will be released on README.md here.)

Features of the app:

Users can view their current location.
Users can find any cycle parkings on the map.
Users can preview the street view of the location of the parking.
Users can adjust the search radius and number of parking spots within the control panel.
Users can ask for real-time traffic level on the map.
Users can get the suggested route between their current location and any targeted parking lot with distance (in kilometers).
Users can track back their past record of parking lots in their profile page.
Users can edit their email and avatar.
Users can keep photo of their bicycle (only one) in their account.

Possible features (under development):

Users can rate and leave comments to any parking lots they have used.
Users can view any local bike shops.
Users can bookmark any parking lots as their favourite one.
Users can store more than one bicycle in their account.
Community/Channel function for more user interactions.
