DESCRIPTION

Bike Finder is a simple app born out of wanting a fast and easy way to find available bikeshare bikes around me. I didn't need a map with tons of little icons. I just wanted to tap a button and see where the closest docking station was and how many bikes were available. So that's what this app does!

Bike Finder presents an easy interface to searching for available bikeshare bikes and docks around you. Not only that, you can also set up scheduled alarms so the app will notify you of availability at specific times, say before your morning commute or before you leave work.

And also! Android Wear support! Using your watch you can quickly search for bikes without even having to pull out your phone. So get out there and ride! Easier now than ever before.
