Tire Pressure Problems--Can We Help???
HiJess, Tire pressure is becoming a huge problem, particularly on classic bikes. Nearly every bike I've ridden in the past several months has had low to flat back tires. So I've been thinking this is another area where Bike Angels can come to the rescue. In short: Send us power inflators with the proper cartridges and we will inflate tires for you--in exchange for points, of course!😉 Here's my idea: Create a "tire pressure" option in the feedback portion of the app. This will help you identify bikes most in need. Add a "service" icon and and "inflate" layer to the Bike Angels UI so we can identify and service bikes. This layer will reflect points rewarded for particular bikes (say 5 points per tire, since this is hands-dirty work). Create a pilot group of Angels and send us power inflators. Ideally, these should be smart inflators that connect to the app. We scan/enter the bike ID to confirm we are servicing the correct bike Receive specific instructions on which tires need inflation. Gauge and inflate either or both tires using the inflator. Receive points! Alternately, we can select bikes that may need to be serviced that are not yet flagged in the app: Click the "service" icon and scan/enter the bike ID. Use the inflator to gauge the tire pressure of the bike in question. Receive instructions on inflation and points to be rewarded via the app. Inflate tire(s). Receive points! We are actively discussing this matter in the FB Bike Angel Communityfacebook.com/groups/bikeangelcommunity/ and welcome discussion in either location. Hope this helps!Solved1.5KViews1like5Comments
