Hi Nadav,
    When I click open to The website it just shows the main page with a
message saying no new news alerts.  What do you want to show?

Hi, this is Nadav over at MassBike.

This is ridiculous:

Plus five deaths I know about since April.

We've long debated how to respond to cyclist injuries or deaths in a way
that isn't crass or opportunistic, and while we still haven't reached
consensus, we've finally decided that we at least have to track this
information.

I know someone working on a more comprehensive incident reporting and
tracking website, but in the meantime, please let us know about any
crashes
or other incidents you're involved in on your bike or otherwise know
about,
in as much detail as you can.

We'd also like to know about accidents due to poor road or trail
conditions.

If you can spare a second, please let me know about any incidents you
know
about from the beginning of 2007 until now, with any relevant news
links,
even if you think we might already be aware of it.

Tracking this information will go a long way towards convincing policy
makers that there's a real problem.

Thanks and safe riding,
Nadav
