Perceived risk whilst cycling

Done! Good luck developing something useful.

Here is an idea, if you develop an app that automatically takes 50 (euros/pound/dollars) out of each passenger or card holder in the vehicle that doesn't respect the 1.5 meter at over lets say 20 miles/h? I bet that is encouraging to everyone driving and everyone to encourage the driver to keep a safe distance while passing a bicycle.!!

Oh the app is obligatory to anyone holding a valid drivers licence.

Since close passes is the main problem (no surprise). You need think about a product that will reduce close passes, which means something installed in vehicles to make close passes a painful experience for the occupants. Maybe a 140 decibel alarm goes off in the vehicle and cuts power and applies brakes if they do a close pass.

Cannons, you know it makes sense ;-)

Hi Guys, thanks for all your responses. I've posted this on a few forums and wasn't expecting quite so many responses!
The main takeaway at this point is that people don't like other road users overtaking too close - and this is independent of pretty much all demographics (age, cycle distance, location gender etc).



With regards to this, I'm not 100% sure at this point. I need to email out some follow up questions to find out exactly what it is that makes people feel at risk. If it's the unknown element then it will look quite different to if it's the proximity for example

Have you compared the low uptake of cycling in the UK with countries which have the highest participation levels and taken any clues from that as to what's needed?

Clue: it's not another gadget.
