J Steve Mayo, our Seattle ride director, has found several maps showing bike fatalities and injuries.

"Results vary depending if you are logged into Google or not, so here is the link to the search:
search for user-created maps (6 results, with 1 of 6 shown)- the one shown for me is a fatality/injury map for Iowa roads by Scott S. (see link below)
Next click See all 6 results for "Ride of Silence" user-created maps- this adds orange mouse-over dots for the 93 business results (above)
Here are the six I was able to dig up, since the results seem to vary:

2007 RoS route map for South Lake Tahoe
2010 RoS map for Chatham-Kent- Ontario, Canada
