1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- collecting data from a bicycle device associated with the bicycle, wherein collecting the data comprises;
determining, by the bicycle device, the bicycle is in a stationary state;
sending, by the bicycle device, a request to a user to confirm that the bicycle is in the stationary state; and
receiving, from the user, a response to the sent request, wherein the user confirms that the bicycle is in an active state;
determining a vehicle is involved in at least one high-risk activity;
determining the bicycle is in a proximity of the vehicle involved in the at least one high-risk activity; and
transmitting, by the bicycle device, a plurality of proximity alerts to the vehicle involved in the at least one high-risk activity while the bicycle is in the active state.
