Assuming a new innovated app was designed, why would you think it would report your presence as a traffic jam since if you are on your bike you are registering in as a cyclist? That said I took a ride last night using the current app and I saw no indication that the app thought there was a traffic jam. Whatever the app is using to judge traffic I believe it operates the same way the Google map app does...satellite perhaps or maybe it just looks at all the GPS signatures of all the Google map / android users and averages out the speed for a current segment of road. Whatever, one bike going down the road at 15 mph shouldn't do much to change that. Keep in mind many people carry their phones with them even when cycling so if it doesn't change anything now there should be no difference in how the app judges traffic flow.

Said by Podagrower: > I think that's taking paranoia to another level. I'm sure there are psychos out there but I tend not to worry too much about them. In all honesty though I'd be more worried about some run-of-the-muck stressed out / inattentive driver running me over thinking he could ride the shoulder to get around a slow moving driver than some psycho hunting down cyclists. Either way stuff like that you can't change. Best you can do is just hope psycho dude doesn't come knocking on your door one day.. Just remember if there was an app that could set you apart as a cyclist you wouldn't have to use that option if you didn't want to.
