More bicycles, less collisions


A virtuous cycle for cyclists

A virtuous cycle: safety in numbers for riders says research

"The likelihood that an individual cyclist will be struck by a motorist falls with increasing rate of bicycling in a community. And the safer cycling is perceived to be, the more people are prepared to cycle."
