no help? okay we might have to do something else... the data we've come across only goes up to Q2 2009 and doesn't have that much information besides number of cylist incidents - the rest would have to be inputted manually which we can't really do in a few hours...

this might help explain. tim berners-lee invented the internets.

if anyone knows where else I can scrape data from please let me know thanks!

Hi everyone, today I'm at National Hack The Government Day at the Guardian offices.

Basically it's a hack-a-thon where geek, developers, designers come together to mashup government data that they've made publicly available now, (for example http://www.data.gov.uk and http://data.london.gov.uk) and present it or do something useful with it.

Alot of people are mashing up things to do with the election, CCTV, digital economy bill, import tariffs etc.

I've decided with a couple of people to do something more to highlight the problem which is obviously of most concern in this forum — road incidents involving cyclists and the prevalance of HGV collisions. Something I really think needs to be addressed in a simple, accessible, visual, and useful way which I hope can invoke some change in public policy to make our roads safer for us.

I hope you'll be able to offer some good input and ideas about how best to present this.

I was thinking initially to take what pretty rubbish data the government holds with alot of the useful information I can find on this forum and on Google News aggregated news sites. (by the way we've got until 6pm today to finish this!)

First of all, can I ask you which information do you think is the most relevant and helpful to the safety cause for cyclists? Maybe it could be all cyclist incidents with other road users? or cyclists incidents overall? or something else? I think incidents involving other road users would be the best but am open to any input from all of you.

First of all I need to find out what is the most useful data to include in this. To get you started I came up with:
incident type (death? / serious injury? / etc)
cyclist name
cyclist age
cyclist gender
incident date
incident location
cyclist wearing helmet
time of day
peak-time or not?
was cyclist visible (if at night were they wearing any hi-vis or lights)
collision with what type of vehicle
court decision of fault
cyclist's years of experience
type of cyclist (ie. commuter / serious / messenger / something else)
court conviction (yes / no)
court sentence for driver (or cyclist, if any)
any citations / references

Hope you can help.

Cheers

that bridge is bullshit at the moment—both ways for cyclists. i find i have to ride in the centre when there's anything wider than a black cab behind me.

hope the guys ok.

just a rucksack. haven't had a puncture in 2 years so haven't really carried repair stuff around with me. thanks though

... had to lock the bike up in front of Waterloo station and bus it back home. Will bus back there in the morning to get Evans to fix it... hope it's there :/

A random female cyclist was nice enough to offer to lend me her fat Abus Steel-o-flex but I couldn't accept.

video has been removed now... hmm

i thought it was too good to be true...

So what are the local laws in that part of Germany that makes you think he should be prosecuted?

you're right — i actually have no idea what the laws are.

yeah on leopard / snow leopard these are the best:

At the moment you might find that some programs won't download, that's because they might be too new, or the BBC just haven't made/uploaded the iPod version of the program.
