Cycling, Health and Safety
Many jurisdictions around the world are trying to retain or increase the share of
cycling in urban traffic in order to benefit from the many health and transport efficiency
benefits. Safety is a key concern and should be accounted for in these policies.
This report of the International Transport Forum's Cycling Safety Working Group monitors
international trends in cycling, safety and policy, and explores options that may
help decision makers design safe environments for cycling. Key messages relate to
strategic goal-setting for cycling policy and managing crash risks while increasing
health benefits. The report also discusses how to better capture crash and bicycle
usage statistics. The safety impacts of a wide range of pro-cycling measures are examined
in detail.
