The bicycle safety device preferably measures both the traverse proximity to the bike frame and speed of an overtaking vehicle and calculates a driving safety assessment based on a predetermined safety threshold. This assessment, along with the video evidence, is uploaded to a remote server. The device may have a very distinctive light display/effect (which may double as a rear bike light) so that drivers will recognize the device and respond by only overtaking when they are able to do so safely.
