What to make of a map of cycling accidents that shows that the most dangerous street for cyclists also happens to have a bike lane? The Star's Map of the Week blog presented that dilemma to cyclists in yesterday's map of traffic accidents involving cyclists. With all 1,068 of the accidents reported to police last year plotted on the map, some clear patterns emerge: as you might expect, most accidents with bikes happen downtown on main streets. College (complete with bike lane), Queen, Bay (with its diamond lane), and Bloor all stick out on the map as having high levels of accidents throughout the core and into the west end, while relatively few accidents occur in northeast Scarborough or on the Gardiner.
