ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the conditions of cycling data production and ways in which the data facilitated alternate forms of participation and new modes of representation. It also focuses on how new forms of data can be used in efforts to govern and inform public works and examines a project focused on developing new cycling infrastructure as part of the Atlanta Regional Commission's Livable Center Initiative. In addition to examining computing's impact on communities, computing researchers and scholars have begun to look at alternative ways of using computing to support different forms of activism. In behavioral approaches to policy, digital democracy tools are providing the capacity to participate with a lower barrier to entry and an incentive to participate with respect to both the reason for the policy artifact's existence and the app's feature of providing a louder "voice" to those who record their same route diligently. The chapter presents a case study on mapping community visibilities.
