Ghost cycle aims
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 served the area in and around Seattle in the United States. It appears that this is no longer maintained, the mantle now taken over by ghostbikes
Originally we placed ghostcycles at accident spots in line with the American ghostcycle site. However we are changing to be in line with the new ghostbikes site, and place bikes to commemorate those who have died cycling.
We will continue to collate data and are in the process of extend the relevance of the data to include HGV incidents, in light of the apparent increase in HGV traffic in London
Please log your incident reports so we can 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. Also if you read about any incidents around the UK, please send us the details. 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.
