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.

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:
Cycling Close Pass Survey
We're conducting this survey to better understand the experience of bike riders who are close-passed by vehicles while riding. We're interested to understand how often it happens, where it happens, an...

Thanks for the suggestion!

☑️Casual riding, including on roads
☑️Commuting to work or school
☑️Road riding, single or in groups less
than 4
☑️Road riding, in groups of four or more
✅Errands, caregiver, and kid moving
Someone in the survey today told us we had not included a category in our "what type of riding do you do?" question - so we added it!

A+ we're just getting started and every little bit helps!!
If you see a post from a 1-person micro business (even if only a sideline business) give them at least a repost?

Those people are working hard to make a success, and usually have FAR higher ethical values than corporations.

How hard is it for you to do a repost?
I'd love to see him get this thing up 88mph!

Here is a shot of one an internal component, fresh off the 3D printer. The tree-looking parts on the outside are support to ensure the lip prints properly without sagging. The support breaks away cleanly, and the printed part is strong letting us use it in functional testing. #bikesky #prototype
I also love that only one person cares about whether they look dorky! Y'all are my kind of people!

We've heard from the #bikesky community about what features you care about most in the close-pass prevention device we're working on:
✅ extension up to 1m
✅ easily retractable
✅ integrated light

Have you been close-passed while riding? What do you want to see?

Sometimes this is what the prototyping phase feels like!
Oooh! I'm glad (c: We'll keep posting here as the plans come together
33km each way! That's a beast of a commute
These are great lessons. My commute is 18km each way and I strongly agree with your "store heavy things at the office" lesson! I keep my laptop charger, change of clothes, etc. there along with a pile of snacks.

This is awesome, way to go!
We're lucky that our city has a lot of good multi-use pathways and that we can bike safely for recreation. I'm taking the kids out for a ride today and who knows where we'll end up!

This is a yeet-machine on wheels for that kid! Yowza
I don't foresee any issues here

I love my e-cargo bike, it's great for so many errands!

What a gorgeous ride! I'd love to cruise along that pathway, the weather looks incredible.
We're doing a survey of people who ride bikes and have experienced close-passes if you're interested in helping out: forms.gle/YiRUDH39sMN4...
