This presentation gives the results of a Vegagerðin-funded study where cyclists' feedback on infrastructure was collected via the website bikemaps.org, and analysed.160 reports of hazards, near-misses and accidents were submitted. The main recommendations of the report are for remediation of blind corners, particular at underpasses; a team to respond to a number of diverse small issues; redesign of several junctions along main cycleways, with detailed illustrations of Hlemmur, Harpa, and Elliðaárósa; information-sharing with street-sweepers removing gravel; and further solicitation of responses from the capital area’s cycling community.
