New Orleans Bicycle A&S Group on Facebook
Just learned about this today (Bike UnEasy on Facebook): https://www.facebook.com/groups/925880264148643/
A place for cyclists to post any events, close calls, advice, etc., for citizens cycling in New Orleans, USA. There are some interesting spread sheet posts regarding non-fatal accidents too. Also a lot of "parked in the bike lane" whining.
Any other cities have such a thing? I had a difficult time finding this one with a Google search even though I was sure it existed.
While on this subject, there is a cycling activist coalition called Bike Easy that has an "incident" reporting page on their Website and a map that indicates where exactly those incidents occurred. I am not certain how long they leave each incident posted. This is helpful for avoiding predators on foot especially.

Someone created a similar site for reporting "incidents" here in NYC. I forgot the details but there was a thread about it here recently.
Is there dingbat for derisive snort?
