The workshop invites participants to immerse themselves in a hands-on experience that combines citizen science, open technology, and urban mobility. The idea is to explore the city by bicycle, transforming them into veritable mobile laboratories capable of collecting environmental and mobility data in real time. Throughout the event, bicycles equipped with open-source sensors will measure parameters such as air quality, temperature, humidity, pavement conditions, and passing distance for motorized vehicles. In this way, urban conditions become not only visible but also quantifiable and debatable from the perspective of the average citizen.

The meeting begins with a brief introduction to the senseBox:bike technology, highlighting the importance of open sensors and transparency of collected data. Participants will have the opportunity to understand how the senseBox:bike sensor kit works, install it on a bicycle, and learn how to operate the system in a simple and collaborative way. Following this, an optional 15- to 30-minute ride through the city streets will be held, during which participants will collect environmental and mobility data.

Back in the workshop space, the collected data will be visualized, enabling a collective debate on how this information, generated in a participatory manner, can support both social mobilization and public policy monitoring. This stage aims to demonstrate that, rather than relying exclusively on official data, citizens can also produce concrete evidence for urban planning and advocacy for better cycling conditions.

To participate in the tour, it is recommended to bring your own bicycle. By the end of the workshop, participants will have experienced a new perspective on cycling through the city. Combined with the use of open data, this approach can strengthen communities and generate dialogue with public authorities for a more democratic and sustainable future for urban mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
