While browsing the local bike advocacy website, I came up with this map db of bike accidents.
https://www.maphub.org/BikeCrashForm
This is really cool. You have to join, then subscribe to a hub to see the details. It shows just where the accidents have occured!
Anybody know of other map dbs that can be viewed to show where bike accidents have occured?

This site (https://www.maphub.org) has many details about accidents and entry of accidents is controlled by a bike advocacy group bike-pgh, so as to hold down falacious entries. You go to the bike-pgh site to enter the details, then they verify it and put it into the map/database.
Here is an example-- once you click on an accident icon on the map you get this kind of detail:
Object Details Name: Car turns into biker
Type: Vehicle Collision
Address: Fifth Ave and Halket St
Lat/Long: 40.4391314170338, -79.9620709758752 Go to Map
