Fiercely interested in cycling safety, safer cities, and riding everywhere I go. Working on a bike-mounted device to reduce the severity and frequency of close passes in cycling.

Honestly, this is how so many bike lanes feel!

That's terrifying! I'm glad you're ok.
It looks to me like you're properly taking a lane when you need to to protect your space. I do the same thing on roads where I always get close passed

That sounds really scary! I'm glad you're all ok. I had a close pass recently while out riding with my 12 yr old and I worry it will put her off riding. We're doing some research into close passes, if you're interested in helping out: forms.gle/YiRUDH39sMN4...

I've seen a video of this done somewhere, and the passing vehicle was a large bus!

We're a group of people who love riding bikes, and are fed up with getting passed closely while riding. We're working on a prototype bike-mounted device that will make it harder for cars to close pass you, without looking super dorky. Interested? Please fill out our survey:
