Cycling is a popular mode of transportation and recreation for many Americans. While it promotes outdoor activity, fitness, and environmental sustainability, it also comes with inherent risks. In particular, collisions involving bicycles and motor vehicles result in tens of thousands of injuries annually.

This project explores publicly available bicycle crash data (https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/adityadesai13/11000-bike-crash-data?resource=download) from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, covering over 10,000 incidents between 2007 and 2018. By analyzing crash data in relation to cyclist demographics, road features, and weather conditions, we aim to identify risk factors and offer actionable insights to reduce crash severity and improve cycling safety.

Our primary objectives are twofold:
- To help cyclists choose safer routes based on road and weather conditions.
- To assist local transit authorities in making informed decisions about infrastructure design and improvements.
