How many total commuters are there in your home state, and how many of them commute by bicycle? How does your state compare to others in terms of bicycle fatalities? 

To find out, you can view and "click around" Kory Nortrop's award-winning "Bicycling Commuting Trends in the United States" for state-by-state comparative data.

You can also view Northrop's personal "Bicycling Commuting Breakdown," an interactive graphic that shows his daily bicycle usage over the last year. The data for the chart is was collected by the cyclometer mounted on his bicycle. Hover over a bubble to get each day's data.

Ever try to comprehend where a world population of seven billion resides? Derek Watkins has. His "Squinty Eyed Look at Population Densities" reveals, through the magic of an interactive toggle bar, where the greatest population densities in the world reside.

You can also check out other data visualizations on his blog, including  "Who Decides the Ugliness of a Place."
