WE LOVE SAFE BIKE LANES
We're making biking safer by making it easy to report bike lane obstructions. The Bike Lane Uprising mobile app makes it easy to report bike lane obstructions as you see them. Simply take a photo and report obstructions. We find trends in the data to identify problem locations, to hold violators accountable, and ultimately prevent future obstructions.


ABOUT OUR UPRISING
Bike Lane Uprising is a cyclist-led civic tech platform. We’re focused on making cycling safer by making it easy to report bike lane obstructions. We find trends in the data to hold violators accountable and prevent future obstructions. Bike Lane Uprising was founded by Christina Whitehouse after she was almost run over by a driver of a commercial truck. The driver entered into the bike lane, right-hooking her. The incident happened in Chicago which coincidentally was named the most bike friendly city in the United States that year. The reality is, cyclists are killed each year and many more are injured, even in top biking cities.

While many miles of bike lanes exist, to keep cyclists safe, they’re often blocked by drivers who use them as free parking. By creating a central database of bike lane obstructions we are able to highlight problem areas and trends surrounding bike lane violations. We work with local organizations, city departments, and companies directly in an effort to prevent future bike lane obstructions.

After launching in Chicago, Bike Lane Uprising spread via word of mouth to over 100 cities and counting. Sign up now and start reporting.

Easiest App Ever

For bike lane advocacy, the best thing to have is data to support your discussions with officials. Data about where crashes happen, where obstructions happen, and where obstacles make biking difficult.

This app makes submitting to the Bike Lane Uprising database exponentially easier than via PC, and will even pinpoint location for your submission if you have your location turned on.

Overall very helpful app for data gathering and even a bit of catharsis!

After recent update, good app becomes great!

New functionality to use photo meta data to update fields much appreciated. Makes it much quicker to report.

Some recommendations for future improvement:
- most people bike regularly in one city, allow us to set a default city
- expand app to include reporting dangerous places to cycle

Cathartic and easy to use

Feels great to help aggregate bike lane violations. I’m not a confrontational person and being able to upload my photos somewhere meaningful helps deal with the risks to my life I encounter daily
