If you ride on the road, it’s getting harder to get home safely. More distracted, dangerous drivers and infrastructure that hasn’t kept up with demand. It’s tough out there, and it’s time to do something about it. 

We believe there are three things that can change the safety equation for bike riders. Raising AWARENESS of how big the problem is and the changes that can be made to make sure every road user gets home safely. Influencing planning priorities with the only real-world INFORMATION on cycling black spots. Getting the evidence needed to PROSECUTE drivers who continue to put lives at risk.

2022

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA

In Victoria, Australia you have to register the incident at the applicable local Police Station, which I did by phone on the evening of the accident. In the Police phone interview I advised all the details and that I had photos and video footage of the incident. I shared those with the Police via email. The Police created an incident report and provided me with an Incident number. I was advised the following day that the driver had been charged.

2021

ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA

I spoke to the driver and asked him to pull over to exchange details, to which he replied “Why?! You hit me!” and then drove off, ‘prompted’ by the car behind. Potential $1250 fine and 3 months imprisonment for driving off (let alone the incident) says his action wasn’t the right call.

A Wheel Kiss

NSW, AUSTRALIA

Cruising up around 50km/hr, all was well until it was time to turn in.

Luckily, it was only skin and bar tape that took a beating, and the camera caught it all!

Who Let This Dog Out?

CLERMONT, UNITED STATES

From the UpRider: 
“This is a rural area. Communities don’t always have leash laws. In this case, the dog dashed across the street and nearly got under the front wheel of a cyclist; that always ends poorly for the cyclist.
There can be a crash, or a motorist may swerve to miss the animal and put the cyclists at risk.”
