World Cycling Day: Cycling Smarter and Greener with IoT Technology

World Cycling Day (WCD), celebrated on September 17th, promotes cycling as a healthy, eco-friendly way to improve cities. First held in 2017, the date "917" sounds like "Just Cycle" in Chinese, emphasizing the benefits of cycling for reducing traffic and pollution.

How IoT Modules Make Cycling Better

With the rise of IoT (Internet of Things) technology, wireless modules have become an important part of making transportation greener. These modules connect bikes to smart systems, making cycling safer, easier, and more efficient. By using IoT, bikes are smarter and more convenient, supporting the goal of a greener future.

Smart Bike Tracking

IoTwirelessmodules help track shared bikes in real-time, making it easier for users to find and unlock them. They can also track the bike’s location, helping both riders and operators manage bikes more efficiently.

Safety and Monitoring

Bikes with IoTwirelessmodules can monitor their condition in real time. For example, they can check if the battery is overheating or if the bike is speeding. If something goes wrong, the system sends an alert to the rider or the authorities, improving safety for everyone.

Preventing Bike Theft

IoT technology also helps prevent bike theft. If someone tries to steal or tamper with a bike, the system can send an alert to the bike owner, helping to recover the bike quickly.

Health Monitoring for Riders

IoTwirelessmodules can also track the rider’s health. They can monitor heart rate, speed, and distance, providing personalized health tips to improve the cycling experience and help riders stay fit.
