New website for sharing incidents
I found a great entry from Bike Rumor that details a new website that should hold plenty of interest for those that cycle on a regular basis. …
From the folks that brought you the 3 Feet Please jerseys, which promotes the “3 Feet 2 Pass” campaign, comes a new website that allows cyclists to report, mark and share cycling incidents and trouble spots.
Using Google Maps, the site allows riders to mark the location of the three events Road Guardian co-founder Joe Mizereck says matter: Close calls, collisions and deaths. It’s free to use, and anyone can visit the site and create a report that marks the location and details.
The hope is that by creating a worldwide system of reporting, riders can learn of danger spots and, more importantly, identify recurring trouble spots that may aid city engineers and traffic planners in future street building plans. Check it out at RoadGuardian.com.

Thank you Jason. If we can make cycling safer, then more non-cyclists will become cyclists…and by adding more cyclists to our roads we make cycling even safer. It’s a no brainer. We have a lot to gain by doing all we can to make cycling safer for everyone. RoadGuardian.com is focused on doing just that.
Thanks for spreading the word. This tool will only become valuable if cyclists take the time to report, mark and share their cycling experiences. Let’s hope they do.
