Trisalyn Nelson, Director of the School of Geographic Sciences and Urban Planning at Arizona State University has created a crowd sourced website, BikeMaps.org, that is a unique tool that lets citizens build a database my mapping their riding experience including crashes, near misses, hazardous conditions and bike thefts.
