You Can't Avoid What You Can't See

Stationary air quality sensors measure in limited locations to provide city-wide estimates, meaning pollution is not actually measured on most streets. To understand what cyclists breathe, we collect data where they ride.

  • A 2023 study shows stationary sensors underestimate on-road exposure by up to 80% for PM2.5.
  • 99% of Londoners exposed to air pollution levels above WHO limits
  • No safe levels of air pollution exposure
