We have shareable urls now! Just added them in. just copy the link on the bottom of the bike.
Also prices. That was a good suggestion.
Thanks!
A few notes:
Each page should have a unique URL. That makes it a lot more sharable.
Different markets have different bikes. For example, the CAAD X Sora (http://www.cannondale.com/catalog/product/view/id/31945/s/ca... - I'd link to it on Bike.io but I can't...) isn't available in Australia. For other manufactures we get bikes the US get - I know Cervelo had different options in Australia to the US. Edit: Another example; Giant Australia has a Revolt 1 (http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-au/bikes/model/revolt.1/149...) which you don't list.
Comparison pages need shareable URLs too - you'll get a lot of traffic from forums if people can share direct links.
In the absence of categories, showing prices next to the models would be a useful stopgap measure.
Edit 2: No way to reset the app when you want to start again.
