Ft Collins analyzes bike accidents

Posted: November 3, 2009 at 12:50 pm | Tags: , ,

Cyclelicious has a fantastic piece of some research Ft. Collins did on bicycle safety.  Over 9 years the city took a look at data from accident reports and came up with some really great data.  Some of the numbers surprised me, but the conclusion was a good one:

For the 9 year period that Ft Collins examined, the accident rate is 0.93 per 1,000 population. Compare that against an injury rate of 7.7 per 1,000 population for all people involved in car accidents. There were four bicycle fatalities in Ft Collins in nine years, compared against two to four traffic fatalities total each year.
