Pooling data from a variety of sources including weather conditions, tube delays and road conditions, the Bicycle Barometer takes the stress out of the nail biting decision of whether to take the tube or the bicycle.

Designed by [Richard Pope](http://blog.oftcc.net/?ref=protein.xyz), the device sources it’s information from the Met Office’s Datapoint API and TFL’s station updates, and puts it into an algorithm that weighs up the pros and cons of each option to help make your mind up for you.
