Safe Rides is a program in Louisville recently launched by
BikeClicks.com., Louisville’s online community for cyclists. This tool was developed for the use of cyclists to help them be aware of trouble areas before they take their next ride. Bikers can log dangerous areas, incidents and conditions on local roads into a database for other cyclists to see. This tool is a combination of
Google Maps,
Street View and a BikeClicks database.
As a rider I have experienced my fair share of being chased by dogs, buzzing and yelling from mad drivers and other unsafe incidents on the road. Usually the only way I can pass the information to my other cycling buddies is by word of mouth. Not reaching everyone who might want the tips. With this new program I can log on, pass on the information, see the trouble areas and adjust my route accordingly. I am thrilled with this program and my hat is off to BikeClicks.com.
Again, safe roads are the responsibility of all on the road. Whether you are in a car or on a bike safe driving is vital for the safety of all.
