You can check off items as you complete them, keeping you organized and on track. It covers everything from making sure your bike is in top shape to packing your gear and mapping out your route.

How it works
Using the tool is simple. Just input your tasks related to getting ready for your bike commute. Each task is marked as either completed or not. The checklist then calculates how many tasks you've finished and compares that to the total number of tasks. You get a percentage that shows how prepared you are. The formula is straightforward: Completion Percentage = (Number of Completed Tasks / Total Number of Tasks) * 100. This gives you a clear picture of your readiness.
Who should use this
This checklist is perfect for a variety of users: urban planners assessing bike infrastructure for city commutes, bicycle couriers organizing their daily routes, recreational cyclists gearing up for long charity rides, and environmental scientists studying commuting trends and their effects on urban pollution.
Worked examples
Let's say you're a bicycle courier with a checklist of 10 tasks to complete before your shift—things like checking tire pressure, packing a repair kit, and reviewing your delivery route. If you check off 7 tasks, your completion percentage is (7/10) * 100 = 70%. You’re 70% ready for your workday!
Now picture an urban planner with 15 tasks for a bike lane proposal, including gathering data on local traffic and chatting with community members. If they finish 12 tasks, they calculate their progress like this: (12/15) * 100 = 80%. This percentage helps them see how far along they are in the proposal process.
Limitations
While the tool is useful, it does have some limitations. It relies on users accurately marking tasks as completed, so mistakes can happen. It also doesn't consider external factors like weather that could affect your bike's readiness. Plus, your unique needs may not be fully addressed by the predefined tasks. Lastly, the tool treats all tasks equally, which might not suit everyone’s situation.
