Mission Statement:

There are thousands of active cyclists in London, and facilities are gradually improving in most boroughs of the capital. The aim of this project is to identify and make visible accident spots around the city, as well as attempting to collate some form of statistical information regarding bicycle accidents. The original ghostcycle website serves the area in and around Seattle in the United States.

We will place ghostcycles at accident spots as and when reports come in, and the spots will also be plotted on a map, which, over time, we hope will build up a picture of danger zones on the streets of London. This information will eventually be passed on to relevant local and central government authorities.

We, the Ghostcycle team, are all familiar with bad roads, poor traffic conditions, and dangerous intersections. We have to contend with them every day, but this project isn't about just our one group of cyclists. It's about all cyclists in London, and they are speaking for us through reports submitted. It's their information, experiences, and (unfortunately) their accidents that reveal the areas in need of improvement in London.

This project is obviously in its infancy, and we need reports of accidents so as to build the database of information. We urge you to report all incidents, and to pass around the address of the website. Please return to the site often. Ultimately we hope that through information and education people will have a better understanding of the changes necessary to make our streets safer for everyone.
