Evasive Manoeuvres
KANSAS, united states
From the UpRider: “I was at a four way stop intersection. I stopped and then entered the intersection when it was my turn. A vehicle was approaching from my right. She didn’t stop and also didn’t see me.”
Late to School

A driver races past a group of cyclists at 60mph in a 20mph school zone, with oncoming traffic in a no-passing zone – is the rush really worth it?

Reach Out and Touch

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.
