UpRide: France Edition

No Respect For Cyclists

TrévouxFrance

A driver fails to yield to a group of cyclists and begins to aggressively push them along the road. This lack of respect can create dangerous situations and pose serious risks to everyone involved.


Harassment From Driver

Le TeichFrance

Another UpRider experiences a driver trying to overtake them at a roundabout, only to then insult the cyclist and speed ahead. It’s unnecessary to be rude when we all should be able to share the same roads.

Irresponsible Driver

EnnezatFrance

Another driver made an unnecessary close call, coming dangerously close to running a cyclist over. When will they learn to give cyclists the space they need?


Bike Lane Invader

When entering a bike lane, the last thing one would expect is to encounter a car—someone must have been lost.


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.
