Cycling in the City

I have been off the commuter for the past couple of weeks.  The need to dress up plus fighting a cold has kept me from pedalling to work.  However I do ride at least 3 times a week around the city and I am a huge proponent of cycling.   I came across this cool map on Openfile. It allows you to plot a ride and it will tell you which intersections and areas are accident prone.  For my commute it seems the intersection of Leslie and Lakeshore is the death  trap. You can also click on the number and see those 11 accidents.

 

A very nifty tool.  Also, the Toronto police have a survey asking about cycling safety habits. https://secure.torontopolice.on.ca/survey/public/survey.php?name=cpn0097_copy  But given the generic nature of the questions I am not sure what they are actually hoping to glean from it.
