Does more cycling also reduce the risk of single-bicycle crashes?
Injury Prevention, 08/08/2012
Schepers P – Cyclists are less likely to be involved in a severe single–bicycle crash in municipalities with a high amount of cycling. Given the large numbers of patients admitted to hospital as a result of single–bicycle crashes, it is important to include the risks of these in road safety and health effect evaluations, and to take into account the non–linearity of the relationship between single–bicycle crashes and bicycle use if road safety measures are to affect the level of bicycle use.
