SkyeTek recently gave back to the community by working with Freikers (short for 'Frequent Biker's Program') to encourage children at local schools to bike instead of drive. Acording to Freikers "Twice as many kids are riding to Crest View Elementary than were riding last year. Why? iPods. It's that simple. Kids who ride to Crest View (and other area schools) receive an iPod if they ride their bikes 90% of the time to school. At Crest View, that means Freikers must ride 150 times this year. Last school year 12 hard-working Freikers completed this goal."

SkyeTek's role in all of this... to supply the RFID technology to track the students: "That's 'Freikometer', and it puts the fun back into bike encouragement programs. Freiker's success is due to fantatical dedication to data. Like many other bike programs, we started with punch cards. The next year we use barcodes and scanners. 2006 is the year of the Freikometer: an automatic device that counts riders and uploads the data securely to freiker.org. It's solar powered so you can put it right near the bike racks at your school." For more information, visit Frieker.org. You can also view a video of the Frikerometer in action here!
