Online Wiki Unveiled For Boston Bike Safety
In an effort to help Boston bikers ride safely, an online "wiki" has been unveiled that uses mapping software to identify the safest and most dangerous routes in the city.
"Urban bicyclists are once again rolling into rush hours and spreading out over the region for weekend recreation -- this year, with a potential cyber ally."
"A new project aims to make outings safer and easier by leveraging the power of the user-generated Internet."
"It aims to collect intelligence from other riders about the best, worst, and most hazardous locations across Greater Boston."
"Powered by Google Maps, the site features an interactive map of locations considered dangerous by local riders."
"Users can add their own hot spots using a wiki-style feature."
