Biklio is a mobile application that creates a network of recognition and benefits to bicycle users, linking them to local businesses and the cycling community for the good of their city.  

People who cycle are recognized with benefits from Biklio spots at the destination of their trips. The mobile app detects when the user is using the bicycle, and when he/she arrives at a Biklio spot, a notification will announce a benefit. The user then shows the “spot keeper” a claim panel from the app that proves eligibility to a benefit.

Users can see in the app map where and what are the spots, what benefit they offer and what are the existing cycling facilities. Even if they do not proactively engage with the app, the benefit notification will always warn them if they enter a Biklio spot, so the user does not have to use or even remind about the app to get advantage of its benefits. The app also involves the community of users to cycle for their city and for their own good, informing each user on his individual and the community’s contribution to a more healthy, sustainable and pleasant city.

Any type of consumer oriented business can participate: may this be a café, a restaurant, a store, a clothing shop, a museum, an ice-cream shop or a pharmacy. To join the network, the Spot keeper only has to fill in a simple online form stating their location and benefits given to the Biklio community. Their Spot page may also inform users on any supplied bike facilities (like parking).

To add to this, the local campaigner (like the city administration) or other sponsors can create extra cycling challenges with special benefits for the users who quest them. These challenges provide additional incentives and opportunities to promote cycling as a mode of transport.

Bike with benefits. You benefit the community, the community benefits you.
