Bike Bingle - report accidents and near misses
Just stumbled across this and think it's a great idea:
http://bikebingle.appspot.com/
Basically, it's a place to unofficially log accidents and near miss events that happen when you're riding. I guess it's mostly for road riders who are buzzed, cut up, come across dangerous road surface, etc, but it could also be useful for logging incidents off road.
I guess the idea is that if people report incidents there is something that can be shown to authorities when trying to claim certain places need better planning?
Anyhow, seemed like a good idea and looks pretty well implemented.

I am off to One Mile Beach near Anna Bay and Nelson Bay, and wondered if anyone had any knowledge of MTB rides in the area, or should I just take the roadie?
