Safety in Numbers,
Data from the Department of Transport shows that
cycling casualties fell by 11% in 2002 while the amount of cycling
increased by 5%. The trend is consistent with research by Peter
Jacobsen, published in Injury Prevention* , that the likelihood
of a cyclist being struck by a motorist varies inversely with
the amount of cycling.
New research on the relationship between cycle use and casualties
is being planned by the DfT.
