Slideshow of tram track hazards
Here is a slideshow with descriptions of hazards to people cycling along the tram route.
Spokes' submission, and our survey on tram crashes, are not "anti-trams". We are pointing out the significant hazards that exist along the existing tram route, in the hope that they will be remedied before the route is extended, and that the design flaws of the exisitng route won't be repeated along the new route.
If you have ever come to grief on the tram tracks, please fill in this survey.
If you know of somebody who has come off on the tram tracks, please forward them this link: http://spokes.org.nz/trams
The survey results so far are also posted on our website.
A page of small flyers is also attached below if you wish print some off and let more people know about the survey.

Accident Reports
I posted a request for tram track accident to be reported to our website on Vorb. It has so far attrached just over 1000 views and 30 comments. To read these go to:

As with any open forum there are a wide variety of views expressed. Just hope these are leading to a few more accident reports being posted.

Vorb follow up
I've posted a follow up article on Vorb:

It contains a reflection of the discussion in the previous Vorb article, and presents the findings so far from the crash analysis.
