Didn’t See The Flashing Light
PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, CANADA
From the UpRider: “Driver made a left turn when I had the right-of-way making my own left turn. Managed to slow down considerably on wet pavement, but not enough!”
Got There First
ONTARIO, CANADA
The group of cyclists was traveling at a good speed through a green light when a driver, lacking awareness, narrowly missed them while turning. Whatever happened to “look before you act”?
Cut Off And Hook
BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA
From the UpRider: “Pomerleau Construction truck. Website states total “commitment to safety for employees…general public…” Really?”
Clueless Driver
ONTARIO, CANADA
The UpRider was squeezed dangerously close by a driver who either didn’t care or didn’t realise they were there.
Dangerous And Unncessary
PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, CANADA
Slowing down was never an option for this driver, who narrowly missed a head-on collision with another vehicle.
Why record your ride?
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.
Make your mark on improving cycling safety by posting your footage of any incidents you’ve encountered. When you add to UpRide, everyone benefits.
