"Apologies for my rudeness, but anyway, I don’t know about the local buses. I was told the local service will be retained so the elderly and disabled don’t have to walk as far. New York has both local and Select Bus Service…"

Hello, I am a student at IIT who would like to do research on bicycle safety. This is just a quick 5 to 7 minute pilot survey that features 5 videos, each about 30 seconds long, of road segments…Continue

WalkThroughWater replied to Cameron 7.5 mi's discussion 'Ashland selected for BRT'"Looking at that map, the stops mostly match the X9 stops when it ran. The ridership of the X9 was pretty decent and showed that people were willing to walk a few extra blocks for better service. The issue with the X9 is that it…"
WalkThroughWater replied to Bike To The Bone's discussion 'Help out with CDOT's Quarterly Bike Counts'"Nah, its not really that interesting. Why spend the money when people are willing to donate their time for better infrastructure? If contractors started having to pay people to do traffic counts, they would both charge the city more and…"
WalkThroughWater replied to Bike To The Bone's discussion 'Help out with CDOT's Quarterly Bike Counts'"Ugh oh, better stop this whole improve bicycle safety thing. People are making money off of it!
Serious post: is there serious interest in installing these totem…"
Anne B. replied to WalkThroughWater's discussion 'Bicycle Safety Survey'"Interesting survey and the videos were really good. I think adding a comment field at the end is always useful- might help you collect some narrative/qualitative data that illustrates what your other data will show. And helps folks note if they had…"
WalkThroughWater replied to WalkThroughWater's discussion 'Bicycle Safety Survey'"Thanks for the feedback. This is a pilot survey and there are many more aspects that I would like to add for later. I know this topic is very complicated but I'm not an expert at writing surveys so I'd figure start small. "
Thunder Snow replied to WalkThroughWater's discussion 'Bicycle Safety Survey'"Yep, getting mugged by pedestrians is sometimes a bigger danger than the motorists passing you by, depending on just where your commute takes you.

Jose Zayas replied to WalkThroughWater's discussion 'Bicycle Safety Survey'"Took the survey, must say it was pretty good. I still think you need to account for other threats in urban cycling and the different options people choose to take when commuting. I sometimes consider other cyclists a bigger threat to me than people…"
S.Presley☠ replied to WalkThroughWater's discussion 'Bicycle Safety Survey'"no problem here, just YT vids."
Lisa Curcio 4.0 mi replied to WalkThroughWater's discussion 'Bicycle Safety Survey'"I was able to complete it, too, and will look forward to your findings. I also found myself looking at the videos twice, except for the one place I actually rode today and it is no different from what you depicted :-)."
Thunder Snow replied to WalkThroughWater's discussion 'Bicycle Safety Survey'"I had no problems with the survey, though I watched the videos twice each time to fully see the conditions. I was on WiFi/DSL and had no video loading problems. Interesting survey. Please report back here with your…"
WalkThroughWater replied to WalkThroughWater's discussion 'Bicycle Safety Survey'"Thanks for the reply. I'll add to the disclaimer that people should consider load time if they have problems playing YouTube videos. The survey will be up till Thanksgiving or later so no real hurry if you can take it somewhere with…"
Bill Savage replied to WalkThroughWater's discussion 'Bicycle Safety Survey'"WadeI'd love to help, but am on wifi where these videos take more like 5-10 minutes each to download rather than 30-40 seconds to watch. If you want lots of folks to respond to such a survey, it has to be easier to do. Will try to do it…"

WalkThroughWater replied to El Dorado's discussion 'Riding Against Traffic......'"Riding against traffic is a great way for getting hit by a turning car because they don't expect people biking the opposite direction and don't really look for it (if they look for bikes at all). Don't do it."
