48 grant rejections later... We’re building a proprietary app to debottleneck our bike swap events using our data and built by a @ucalgary.bsky.social CS student 🚲📈 Help us name the app: Wheelie Good Price Crank the Numbers The Bike Whisperer Handlebar-ometer Which name gets your wheels rolling?

The data is in: Safety > Theft. 🚲 We check every bike at our bike swap events and reject 12%. It’s scary to see those same bikes pop back up for sale online. Stay safe, trust our processes, and stick to legitimate CAN-BIKE education. #BikeSafety #Alberta #bicycleswapsoftware
