An experiment in Birmingham, England, has revealed the most dangerous places in the city for cyclists. Over several months, riders equipped with smart bike lights were able to collect enough data to determine the areas where the risk of collision is greatest.

Funded by the UK’s Department for Transport, the “Cycle Smart Brum” study was conducted by the Royal Society for Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) over a six-month period. During this time, 200 cyclists rode nearly 42,000 kilometers, collecting a phenomenal amount of data.
