Title: Rider Risk Map
Post by: Hope2Ride on August 06, 2013, 07:42:38 PM

For those of you on facebook you might find this interesting to take a peek at...

People can point out specific roads, intersections, etc that are especially dangerous for bikers

Interesting concept but I fear it would be skewed by intersections near popular bars or curvy roads anywhere near a bar.  I realize it's relatively new because I know of no less than 6 crashes on Cty O (which is not marked.)

Yeah it's new and they for sure have some tweaks to work out. And I don't know how usefull the average rider would find this to be but this thought it was kinda interesting. I looked up areas by my house to see how correct they were and most were pretty close.
