F.A.Q.
What is BKME.ORG?
BKME.ORG is a platform that channels the power of cyclists to reclaim bike lanes from vehicles.
We provide a way for cyclists to record bike lane violations collectively and in realtime.
We collect and place this data on a map in order to bring out problematic violation hotspots.
We intend this initially for cyclist awareness and ultimately to be acted upon and resolved by the local government.
We make the demand for action clear by juxtaposing CYCLIST DATA with existing REGULATION DATA from NYC OPEN BIKELANE TICKETS.
We think it is important to note that this system is both modular and extendable to other causes and cities.
