Survey of Bicycling Accidents in Boulder, Colorado
Abstract:
In brief: To determine what public and individual efforts might reduce bicycling accidents and injuries, a survey was conducted during the primary cycling months (April through September) in Boulder, Colorado. Of 253 patients (87 women, 166 men, average age 22) treated for injuries in bicycling accidents, almost 30% of the accidents were caused by gravel, and nearly half involved a motor vehicle. The most frequent types of injury were abrasions, contusions, lacerations, and fractures. The survey results confirm the need for adequate head protection, satisfactory lighting, and increased awareness on the bicyclist's part. In addition, improved street maintenance will drastically reduce the number of cycling injuries and accidents.
