Looks good - full report here. Some parts do seem counter intuitive e.g. presence of junctions was not significantly associated with injury risk. And although the risks of serious injury on major streets with parked cars and bike lanes were found to be slightly higher than on major roads without parked cars, the latter were less liked by cyclists.
Shared off-road paths were safer than on road cycling but not as safe as bike-only paths. And roads with tram tracks had three times risk of injury.Posted 12 years ago #
