Studies have shown that many people don’t commute by bike due mainly to a fear of being hit by cars. A new bike-mounted proximity sensor has been designed to help such folks, by objectively telling them which streets are the safest for cyclists.

    Counterpoint: I don’t think any cyclist is going around urban environments with a false sense of safety. We’re all hyper aware that any car could kill us

      I would disagree based on person observation.

      It’s also possible that the type of person who would use this service, is probably a cautious, aware cyclist.
