Don't draw a bike, bike a drawing! Using state of the art technology, each rider will draw a colored line on a collaborative sketch just by riding around. It's magic, like Etch A Sketch, but the drawing dials are the wheels of your bike. How will the canvas affect our creativity? What are the limits and opportunities of this advanced new art medium? Bring a smartphone. A method to mount your phone to your bike will allow you to see the sketch in progress hands-free, which is more interactive, but not absolutely necessary. Tech notes: Bike-A-Sketch is a web-app that runs in the Safari or Chrome browser, and needs access to your location. - On iPhone: Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Safari Websites and choose While Using the App and enable Precise Location. - On Android: Go to Settings > Apps > Chrome > Permissions > Location > and choose Always. Now when you load Bike-A-Sketch it should ask for access to your location. Choose Allow. During sketch sessions, try to keep Bike-A-Sketch in the foreground and your phone unlocked for smooth lines.
