I can think of ways to build this knowledge: a) capture routes of bike trips taken while using nav apps b) send camera-laden cars around, the same way these maps were originally built, and this time, measure bike trips c) ask bicyclists If everyone really has this communal knowledge, as you say, then it can be gathered.

> capture routes of bike trips taken while using nav apps Still fails to capture individual preferences which are often complete opposites, sometimes even for the same person on different occasions. When I'm riding fast I greatly prefer proximity to cars over proximity to pedestrians or slow cyclists, it's much safer because even the worst drivers are more predictable than average pedestrians, and the speed difference between fast cycling and urban driving is quite small anyways. In terms of injuries it doesn't matter much who takes you down. When I'm riding slow those preferences (and the safety considerations they are based on) are completely inverted.
