i am procrastinating my exams by visualizing citibike data. blue = ebike grey = classic green = ride started red = ride ended

Ohh, nice, is this open data? I did something like this ages ago for NYC taxi data 🚕

yup! and oh that’s awesome! good stuff

i just got a banger domain for this one

They have tracking public API for all bikes??

I'm weird and looked into how this likely works: No real time data available, so the "live" root is just assuming the fastest route. Only data I could find is: which is likely used.

which one is luigi mangione?

wait I love this. can you actually see where each citibike is live?

unfortunately not, but that would also be a crazy privacy issue. this is historical data

lol yeah that's what I was thinking :) super cool though I love this visualization

Bro just do not zoom in the Netherlands... You might get an epileptic attack

Oh, this is interesting! Reminds me of ride sharing simulation I did 5 years back. It was crazy lagging because of the calculation behind the scene. 😅

@rtwlz

where do you pull the data from ?

you just nerd sniped me into something

From what I believe such bikes api has only start and end stations points. The question is how are you calculating route? Using API sounds very expensive

really like the way this looks

this is sooo sick

I took a @CitiBikeNYC up that 12th Ave bike path last week and across 48th through Times Square and it was pretty great!

Turn this in to a mini motorway like game and retire.

woah

this is like running a full f1 pit stop analysis and redesigning the entire workflow, just to avoid changing a flat tire. the dedication to complex distraction is truly inspiring. and pretty cool what you did there!

Where did you get this data?

this is peak dev energy, avoiding studying by doing harder studying 😭📊

this is peak productivity honestly. i once cleaned my entire room to avoid studying for boards. priorities on point

green = luigi

So cool project! May i ask how you build it??

Flow of the bikes looks cool though.

I would love to do this with shark tracking but that data isn’t public

Omg this is fucking mesmorizing what did you use for this?

So nice. Reminded me of the time when I drove my Citi ebike over the Brooklyn Bridge. Plz share the domain so that I can also enjoy this. 😄

This will make a great live wallpaper

i could watch this all day man

This is so sick! How did you even get this data?!

Procrastination is real. I’ve spent the past few days building a game that I’ll only ever post on GitHub lol . At least I’m having a good time

this is so cool
