About Cycling Advocacy

What is this?

Cycling Advocacy is a directory of bicycle advocacy organizations across the United States and beyond — from local neighborhood groups pushing for safer streets to national organizations shaping cycling policy.

The map also tracks ghost bike memorials — the white bicycles placed at sites where cyclists have been killed, serving as a reminder that roads must be made safer for everyone.

Data

Group and memorial data is sourced from OpenStreetMap and community submissions. Corrections and additions are reviewed before being pushed back to OSM.

To add or correct a listing, sign in with Google and use the submit form on any group or memorial page.

Mobile app

A React Native app is in development. It will use the same API powering this site, allowing you to find groups and ghost bike memorials while on the go.

OpenStreetMap contributions

This site acts as a review buffer for OSM edits related to cycling infrastructure and memorials. Signed-in users can propose changes; editors and administrators review and submit approved changes to OSM via the official API.

API

A public REST API is available for developers building cycling apps. See the OpenAPI schema for full documentation.
