Bike Lane Uprising 1.4.24

Bike Lane Uprising is a cyclist-led civic tech platform that focuses on enhancing cycling safety through the facilitation of reporting bike lane obstructions. The initiative was born out of a real-life incident involving the founder, Christina Whitehouse, who narrowly escaped a collision with a commercial truck that invaded her bike lane. This unfortunate event, set against the backdrop of Chicago being hailed as the most bike-friendly city in the United States at the time, underscores the prevalent risks cyclists face daily. Despite the presence of numerous bike lanes, many remain compromised due to frequent misuse by motorists seeking free parking.

The central mission of Bike Lane Uprising is to compile a comprehensive database of bike lane obstructions, enabling the identification of problematic areas and recurrent violations. By meticulously analyzing this data, patterns are detected and used to hold accountable those who disregard bike lane regulations, fostering a safer environment for cyclists.

With an expanding reach that has transcended the confines of Chicago, Bike Lane Uprising has garnered support in over 100 cities and continues to grow. Join this movement today by actively contributing to the reportage of bike lane infringements through our user-friendly mobile app.
