#cyclesafe

The Times "Cities fit for cycling" campaign that has been running from the beginning of February, sparked by the unfortunate incident where a lady was knocked off her bicycle next to the Times offices in Wapping. They have since got celebrity and politician backing, creating a manefesto for safer cycling.

Just a few clicks on google show up so many stories of cyclists killed on the roads in the past few years. 

There's so many dangerous roads that just aren't reported, or not discovered expect by cyclists.

I hope that happy cycle could be used as a method for collecting data, not just about stressful routes, but dangerous ones too. Perhaps local councils could use this data to keep tracks of what routes need repairs and alterations.
