In London, a crowdsourced effort to track unsafe streets for bike commuters is giving cyclist advocates and the local government new insight into where the most dangerous spots to ride are.

Last week, 500 cyclists begin riding around the city with a button on their handlebars that they are instructed to push when they feel unsafe, nervous or frustrated on their daily trips.

When a cyclist hits the button, a message is relayed to an app on the cyclist’s smartphone, which logs the dangerous location on a public map, and e-mails the mayor, reminding him of his promise to protect those on bikes.
