Crowdsource Cycling Safety Issues in Your Community with BikeMaps.org

It is estimated that less than 30% of cycling collisions with motor vehicles are collected by official sources, such as ICBC or police, leaving most incidents unreported.

BikeMaps.org was launched by UVic researchers in 2014, with the goal of capturing more data on bicycling safety, and to inform transportation policy-makers, planners and engineers on real-world experiences of people who bike.
