Cateye makes a cycle computer known as a Padrone, and it also comes in a "smart" version which tightly integrates with your Android or iPhone smart-phone via Bluetooth. It can be run in two speed-detecting modes: GPS, and wheel-sensor.

Add an API to the game which allows a registered Padrone to input wheel speed sensor data and verify that data with a GPS reading from the game itself. Physical logistics involved in attaching one to a car plus the cost of the computer itself are going to eliminate a large percentage of potential cheaters.

You can then bike and play to your heart's content. A notifier function integrated with the existing Padrone app (similar to how a Pokemon GO Plus bracelet works) would allow one to keep the phone secured in a fork bag until the next Stop or batch of critters shows up on the radar.
Now, if I only had the vaguest idea what you are saying... :)
