  "raw_analysis": "BikeWise is a public, open-source platform designed to collect and display information about bicycling incidents, such as crashes, thefts, and hit-and-runs. It serves cyclists, urban planners, safety advocates, and researchers by providing accessible data on incident locations and types. The API v2 allows read-only access to incident records and location summaries, supporting interaction with mapping applications. It is a relatively mature platform, backed by BikeIndex, with an active open-source community. Authentication is not required; the API is free to use, although no rate limit documentation was found. Integration is straightforward via JSON responses, enabling custom dashboards or analysis tools. The platform relies on user-submitted reports and public records, making data coverage dependent on community participation."
