Man laddar upp datat via hotspot och laddar loggern vid behov. Det är ganska enkelt och smidigt. Vi har försökt beskriva så tydligt som möjligt hur det går till, och vi håller ett öga på datat för att kunna höra av oss ifall att vi ser något konstigt. Man får själv statistik över sina data.
Om du följer länken i första inlägget så hittar du lite mer info. Det är upp till en själv var man cyklar, men vi är tacksamma om det blir några rundor när man har logg-utrustningen 🙂
Kort sagt monterar man loggern på cykeln och trycker på en knapp efter varje omkörning (och vid möte, om man orkar).
Tack för repost! Ja, det är ganska många som tänker och känner så, helt förståeligt, med tanke på allt man blir utsatt för. Svårt att vara alltför optimisitisk, men jag hoppas att det här projektet kan i alla fall belysa frågan, även om det nog är svårt att få till en förändring.
Någon som vill vara med? T ex @eriohm.bsky.social, @kristerisaksson.bsky.social, @ekstromenator.bsky.social, @eriksandblom.mastodon.green.ap.brid.gy, m. fl.? Dela gärna, toppen om vi kan få data från hela landet.
I point this out whenever I get the chance, not always meeting appreciation. Right on par with "saving lives", amongst others.
When trying to avoid all those traps, one almost can't talk about the topic anymore.
It's frustrating that the only options seem to be to either be disliked by one's neighbours for pointing out to them that the bike path is not meant to be driven on, or to keep one's mouth shut so they continue driving on the bike path (which they do either way, to be fair).
It can take the joy out of cycling. Seeing what could be if only ...
Some of you have previously indicated that you might want to participate in our data collection on overtaking of cyclists on rural roads. We are looking for cyclists in all of Sweden. Some more info and a recruitment questionnaire are here (first section): www.vti.se/en/archives/...
Tyvärr har jag inte koll på sådant, men tack @kristerisaksson.bsky.social för svar.
Yes, such acts of caution are second-nature and probably a sign of managing one's level of fear such that, without the self-observing meta level activated, it can be made to feel ok, or livable, or something.
Yes, exactly this. And even if drivers don't mean to hit people (probably mostly true, but not always), there are so many occasions where cars end up out of control, so it's just a lottery, and still I'm not too concerned, if I don't actively think about it. Bizarre, really.
Sorry to hear. I have made similar experiences, and there's enough hate on social media etc. that one isn't surprised that punishment passes happen on almost every ride. It would be totally normal to be afraid all the time. One can never know what the next pass will bring.
Yes, I agree, regarding those that pass closely "without reason" (not that there ever is a good reason). But today, atypically, there were none of those. Even though I think it _should_ feel scary to get passed at below 2 m with 70 km/h. That it doesn't shows how much this madness got normalised.
We'll run a study in October where we'll do exactly that, to evaluate whether it will affect their behaviour at all. Even though, of course, this still validates driving at high speeds close to people, with a few hours of formal education at best.
A scatterplot showing overtaking vehicle speed against lateral clearance to the cyclist during the overtake, with clearances ranging from ca. 140-300 cm and vehicle speeds ranging from 35-90 km/h, with a slight trend of larger clearances at higher speeds.
On my bike ride today none of the overtakes felt scary, and that shows me how jaded I am, having normalised heavy objects getting hurled right past me with lethal energy. I'd certainly be less cool with bullets flying past me at that distance. But somehow, cars are fine?
We have a bike shop in town who does just that. Either fix in place or pick up.
Traffic violence is everywhere and appears in all kinds of shapes. As ordinary harm, constantly normalising inconveniences to those not driving. As slow violence, always raising the threshold for outrage. And as a brutal, deadly blow, masked as "accident". It hurts all the time to see it everywhere.
Our research is not neutral if only because we depend on funding. That's distributed politically by governments or "selfishly" by corporations. Conditions often include industry in-kind which favors big corporations. Even topic choices and research areas are not neutral.

Such a pity - I think we are a bunch who really would have liked to listen. If you by any chance manage to arrange something, please let me know. Would be great.
Yes, that's where all this talking about "saving lives" got us.
Is there any chance this is accessible online?
Aftonbladet 26-01-12 Intervju med civilförsvarsministern – Det finns ett ”de” som inte bör vara en del av vårt ”vi”, och det är de som tar till våld, besinningslöst våld mot oskyldiga människor. De borde inte vara i Sverige, de borde inte ha en plats i samhället och det är ju definitionen av polarisering.
Det sker inte bara i USA
Also the part "drivers see you sooner and react faster" - I'd rather have them act in a proactive manner, e. g. drive slowly enough to make sure they can stop well in advance, such that they never get into situations that rely on having to "react" quickly. I don't want to help them drive fast.
Unfortunately I agree 100%. I wish I could say the opposite. Riding in the forest or on a gravel road can make me happy, but riding in town, with violence and threats being so normalised to be omnipresent, there's no joy to be found.
We had a car, sold it 6y ago, said back then, if we feel we need one for the occasional trip, we rent one. By now I'm at a point where I basically refuse to even be in cars. The count is <10 times for the last years, aiming for zero times this year.
Vi kommer att söka testpersoner över hela landet, så det går utmärkt att du är med om du vill. Tack! Jag sprider info bland annat här när det blir aktuellt, förhoppningsvis senast till våren.
Oavsett frågan om det ens finns plats att lämna 2 m så är det stora problemet att det är svårt att uppskatta sidoavstånd i meter och centimeter, både som bilist och cyklist. Att förhålla sig infrastrukturen är mycket enklare, därav förslaget att gå över helt till vänster och sänka farten vid behov.
Vi ska göra vad vi kan för att ta fram och sprida data och resultat. Det kommer att finnas möjlighet att hjälpa till med datainsamlingen, och det går att läsa om pågående och tidigare forskning här (även länkad i Kristers text): www.vti.se/en/archives/...
Exactly, it's public space after all. The narrative needs to be changed. It's completely absurd to restrict everyone else, not rarely to the point of making free movement impossible. And it's appalling that this is considered normal.
Förstår, och är glad för att vara född vänsterhänt och i 6årsåldern ha vägrat tvångsomställning.
