Re:route - earn points by cycling and redeem them for stuff and things

Obviously an attempt to lighten the load on the tube and buses during the Olympic Shames. Could be worth a look though.

Nicely designec app but the rewards are not of interest to me. May give it a go for a bit.

Can I backdate a claim from 1997 onwards? What do I get for lifetime cycling

Self-satisfaction and breathtaking thighs.

just got this - seems like a good idea.
however, how on earth do they know you're not going by public transport or by bike, but by car?

The re:route mobile app, aka The re:route iPhone app.

And with this they'll know where, when and how we move around town even when we're not on public transport

They know that anyway with an iphone, don't they?

not tfl, aka le government

they do though....

Ace, my council tax supports needy iPhone owners. God, I love London 2012.

And one hurrumphing email later, and I'm properly put in my place:

Dear Garnett,

The re:route application will be available on Android soon.

The re:route application has received no funding from TfL or any other partners. The re:route application belongs and is owned by RecycleBank. Instead we are working in partnership with re:route to help meet one of our objectives to encourage walking and cycling during the Games.

Kind regards

Would be nice if it didn't keep telling me I've arrived then crashing.

I tried, and failed, to log a journey. It appears to be utter shit.

Had this app for about a week now and worked ok until i got 155 points and seems to crash every time i use it... Great idea but they need to fix the bugs
