Bike Community Hub
- Created by
- Bikey (Herve Senot, Paul McTier, Sam Wall, Julien Marchand, Danielle Chick, Cem Surer)
- data.australia.gov.au datasets used
- Economic Stimulus Package Project Data (community infrastructure & road & rail projects)
- Other datasets used
- Under license agreement for the duration of the competition: - crash locations 2006-2007 in Victoria (VicRoads) - crash locations 2006-2007 in NSW (RTA NSW) - bicycle network in Victoria (VicRoads) - cycleways in NSW (RTA NSW) Disclaimers apply on the accuracy, currency and completness of these datasets. Other sources: - ABS localities, postcodes, LGAs and states - OpenAustralia API - OpenStreetMap tiles - OpenStreetMap data (streets flagged bicycle=yes)
Our long-term objective is to promote bicycle as an efficient, respected and safe mode of transport in urban areas.
Our mashup allows cyclists or would-be cyclists:
- to access and exchange safety information, contributed both by the road safety authorities (crash locations) and other cyclists (reported hazards)
- to study the best (safest, simplest) route in an interactive map
- to review and rate up and coming bicycle lane developments
- to access government representatives information for a given location
This project has been a catalyst for implementing a number of ideas and concepts that are shaping the new relationship between government and citizens:
- transparency,
- accountability,
- collaboration,
- civic engagement.
Good work! Looking forward to seeing the site in full swing!
Thanks for all your votes, it’s a great encouragement for the Bikey team.
Please leave your comments, positive and negative, so you can help us improve our service to the community!
More exciting features to come!

This is a great site! Really useful to see where the bike paths are!
I will show my friends for sure! 
And it looks pretty too!
I love that u can report a hazard as well and add it to the map!
It’s a fantastic idea to get the bike community to be involved in fixing up our streets
Note from the developers:
if you access the website from your iPhone, it will center the map on your current position.
Enjoy, Herve
Awesome idea, please continue to develop this.
cheers,

its a really good thing this website and what it is aiming to achieve, then interface is great, the red dots that change with zoom factor, well done. All those crashes….
