IN HONEST STATISTICS (NOT THE KRYGOWSKI KIND), IS CYCLING SAFE OR DANGEROUS?
Is cycling safe? Is cycling dangerous?
Answer: it depends where you view it from, and how skilled you are with statistical interpretation. This year the final tally in the USA will come to around 700 cyclists killed and about 40,000 motor passenger casualties. Here are two ways of looking at it, with very different answers: A cyclist is 2.9 times more likely to be killed on any journey than someone riding in a car. ( http://www.ta.org.br/site/Banco/7man...PIpuchertq.pdf ) A cyclist is 11 times more likely to be killed per mile of travel than someone riding in a car. (ibid) Can these widely divergent numbers be reconciled? Though their truth is guaranteed, are they actually the most meaningful numbers one can mine from the statistics? HERE IS A LONGER PIECE THAT I FIRST PUBLISHED IN 2010 IF ANYONE WANTS TO DEAL IN PROVABLE FACTS RATHER THAN POMPOUS OPINION FROM WANNABE POLITICIANS. S CYCLING SAFE? by Andre Jute Cycling statistics are thrown about by passionate advocates for this or against the other with gay abandon for meaning and sense, so I decided to conduct my own investigation and get at the facts. Statistics is the art of spiraling in on enough sets of numbers in broad agreement to make an informed decision. Decimals are a luxury for ivory tower lurkers who wouldn't survive a day in the real world; all that is required is a set of mutually reinforcing numbers tending the same way. Safety numbers do not stand in isolation. They are always in relation to something else, which sets a baseline. In bicycle safety, the comparison is with fatalities in automobile travel. It is not necessarily the best comparison. For instance, if I were killed on the road, my family would find it inconvenient but I would no longer care; I would find being maimed or hurt on the road much more inconvenient, but I have no good numbers for serious injury short of fatality. We have to compare cycling to what we have, which is automobile fatalities. So one's entire attitude to bicycle safety depends on whether one considers automobile travel safe enough. Most of us do. The unspoken qualification is "in the light of its benefits." Bicycling must be given the same benefit of weighing not just danger but net gain. *** A cyclist is 2.9 times more likely to be killed on any journey than someone riding in a car. ( http://www.ta.org.br/site/Banco/7man...PIpuchertq.pdf ) A cyclist is 11 times more likely to be killed per mile of travel than someone riding in a car. (ibid) We know that cars travel faster than cyclists, and that people who ride in cars travel further (14,400 miles for Americans according to the DoT 2000/2001 transport census) than almost all bicyclists. So a comparison per mile is not as indicative as first seems; in practice it will be swamped by other factors. A more meaningfully direct comparison is the risk per hour on the bicycle. We know from experience that cars, depending on circumstances, travel 3 or 4 or 5 times as fast as bicycles. So we can calculate that: A cyclist is roughly 2 or 3 or 4 times (11 divided by 3, 4, and 5, and remember what I said about decimals) as likely to be killed per hour on his bike as someone riding in an automobile. That accords well with a number we already have, that a cyclist is 2.9 times as likely to be killed per journey as a motorist. All these numbers, including the outlyer of 11 times more cycling fatalities per journey for cyclists than motorists, accord well with the knowledge that most travel fatalities happen within three miles of home, and the additional fact that most bicycles journeys are of less than two miles. We've now arrived at where cycling carries somewhere around three times the risk of dying compared to motoring, with a fifty per cent margin each way. It's extremely encouraging for a first approximation to be so close, because not all cyclists ride under the same circumstances or in the same way. *** Let's check the numbers we have against known statistics. In the US, about 700 cyclists and around 40,000 motorised travellers will become traffic fatalities this year. Nobody knows precisely how many cyclists there are but BRAIN reported for the National Sporting Goods Association in 2008 that 44.7m rode six or more times a year, of which 25m rode more than 24 times a year. It is this 25m more or less regular cyclists we want to work with; they very likely largely overlap the 24m who reported to the BTS in 2000-2001 that they cycled at least once a week. ( http://www.bts.gov/publications/high...table_a01.html ) That works out to about 1 chance in 36,000 that a cyclist will be killed on the road this year. Nobody knows precisely how many people travel in internal combustion vehicles either. But about 200m Americans have driving licenses, and only 8 per cent of households don't have a car available; most of those presumably travel by bus. We can probably safely say that around 390m Americans account for the 40,000 passenger casualties every year. (That probably overstates the numbers who don't travel at all and take trains, but it makes minuscule differences.) That works out to about 1 chance in 9750 that an automobile traveller will be killed on the road this year. Eh? One chance in 36,000 that a cyclist will be killed v. one chance in 9750 that a motorist will be killed this year. Can cycling really be near enough four times safer than motoring? Even when we have already decided that per trip and per hour cycling is about three times more likely to get you killed than motoring? Absolutely. Cyclists don't ride the enormous mileages motorists cover, nor do they take as many trips. The per trip and per mile and per hour disadvantage soon disappears over the longer term. I suspect that the half-million or so habitual commuters in the States are pushing their luck but recreational cyclists are exposed too little to worry (as long as they don't do anything stupid, of course). *** These numbers all refer to the States, where the average household has 1.8 cars for 1.7 licensed drivers, with consequences that are obvious. I should however be surprised to discover that the numbers for any anglophone country is drastically lower; they all aspire to emulate the American lifestyle. In my own country, Ireland, 9 cyclists were killed on the roads in 2006, the last year for which I have statistics, but that merely reflects the drastic fall in cycling (never very popular) because most people consider the roads far too dangerous; almost no children cycle now. 29 pedestrians and 226 motorists also died on the roads, out of a population of less than 4.5m; a motorist has about a 1 in 20,000 chance of dying in his or her car in any year, which sounds better than in the States but the roads are much narrower and more crowded, a nightmare for cyclists; I mention this to stress that gross numbers, especially from foreign parts, should be adopted only with some sensitivity to local conditions. The bicycling cultures of Germany and The Netherlands have much lower cycling fatalities on any sensible measure than anyone else but these arise not so much from superior facilities as from a bicycle-directed culture rather than an automobile-centred culture. *** We're back where we started. A cyclist is more like to die on the road than a motorist by a factor of 2.9 per trip, 11 per kilometre (probably a not overly relevant statistic, as explained above), and about 3 per hour on the bike. I conclude that, roughly speaking, cycling carries in microcosm, ride by ride, three times more risk of dying on the road than motoring. However, in total, because cycling trips are shorter than motoring trips, and there are fewer of them, the total macrorisk of death while cycling is between three and four times *less*, on average over the full year, than while motoring. *** Commuters or other cyclists who ride big mileages are of course at bigger risk and should consider the risk per hour on the bike, which ranges from about 2-4 times that of driving (for traffic travelling no faster than four times the cyclist's speed). *** I cycle for my health. It works. There are general health benefits to individuals, the environment and society from cycling. Everyone must make up his own mind. But I decided long ago that the health benefits of cycling outweigh the per hour/per trip risks. I've given up the car. Andre Jute 10 April 2010. *** Not copyright. May be freely reproduced.

IN HONEST STATISTICS (NOT THE KRYGOWSKI KIND), IS CYCLING SAFE OR DANGEROUS?
In Australia, even prior to the mandatory use of bicycle helmets, motor
vehicle drivers and bicycle riders were subject to the same risk of 0.84 fatalities per million trips, and similar risk on a per hour basis. Per kilometer riders are 4 times more likely to die. I don't think the fatality risk has changed _much_ since 1985-86. I also have no idea how accurate the numbers are.

If one follows the declining trend line of bicycling fatalities in various countries, it should be near zero by today.

I don't think helmets have actually saved many people's lives, and the road toll seems to drop each year though our population is growing. If the fatalities haven't kept pace with growing population, something is working. Whether it is helmets would require data and analysis. It could be anything, including even the roadworks you dislike. I made a crack at the hospital about what can be seen from the third floor of the bike lanes on the roads outside the hospital gates: "All cycle lanes lead straight to Accident & Emergency," and a guy who worked Resuscitation said, "To that extent, they've worked. We get the donors faster." (Anyone on a pedal- or motor-bike in medical slang is "a donor".) Specifically on helmets, the New York whole universe compilation of serious cycling accidents that I discussed before, that anti-helmet zealots avoid so assiduously, is the best indicator that helmets do save lives. In it there was a clear trend for the helmet wearers to suffer a lower fatality rate.. Andre Jute |

In NZ it's Driver ~130 Passenger ~70 Motorcycle ~40 Pedestrian ~30 Pedal cycle ~10 Other ~5 With most fatalities being older people. We've got around 2.9 million drivers and something like 0.75 million cyclists (with about half of those regulars and under 10% competative). There's only around 75000 motored on two wheels. 1/2000 motorbikers. 1/22000 drivers. 1/75000 cyclists. Noting that almost all cyclists are also drivers, a cyclist is over three times as likely to die in their car as on their pushbike. The motorbike crowd is, meanwhile, around a dozen times more likely to die on two wheels than four. And realistically, we're just about all pedestrains, even babies get pushed around in prams. 1/120000 pedestrians. So, more likely to die on your bike than on foot, but not that bad. One thing I found recently though, was that only ~30% of cyclists per year on today's numbers are killed by being run over. Another ~20% are judged at fault in a collision (riding illegally and ending up under a truck, typically), and the remains are non-collision deaths like strokes and heart-attacks while riding, or catching a tree on downhill adventures. And per-hour or per-km it's worse, as ususal, but cyclists who do more hours and more km are proportionately safer, so real numbers are pretty hard to find or figure out in the first place. Thanks, Andre, nice view of things. Holy crap. The average driver here does ~200km/week. I nearly manage that when it's summer time on the bike. Speaking of which, really must get a new chain on the thing and get back into it. -- tussock |

I don't think helmets have actually saved many people's lives, and the road toll seems to drop each year though our population is growing. I think road death tolls change for various reasons, some of which are properly credited, some of which are not. For example: Death tolls tend to rise or fall with road use. When hard times and/or gas prices and/or demographic trends reduce the miles driven, fewer drivers and passengers are killed. Millennials arent driving cars, some claim. OTOH, cycling seems to be rising in popularity, so bike deaths should have a tendency to rise, even though that tendency may be partially offset by other factors. There have been marked engineering changes in cars. Aside from modern (explosively) inflatable car interiors, structural changes in car bodies do a better job of protecting occupants. We now see stability control common in newer cars. Lane departure warnings are popping up in some. (Of course, these may trigger some serious risk compensation; we'll see, I guess.) There's pretty constant improvement in roadway design benefiting motorists. Although freeways are already far safer than ordinary streets, our state is spending money installing cable barriers in freeway medians, to make them safer yet. Newly re-decked bridges now have rain grooves (which are pretty exciting when I'm on my motorcycle). Turnpike toll booths have very elaborate impact barriers. And suburban roads are also being redesigned to smooth automobile travel and make it safer. Unfortunately, those same pro-motorist road changes can certainly dissuade walking and biking, when crossing a street becomes a six lane sprint for an elderly man, or a new freeway means a half mile trip to a grocery is now a four mile bike ride to cross at the nearest over-freeway bridge. Things like that drive pedestrians and many bicyclists into their cars. It's really a net detriment, but those who simple-mindedly count only deaths, not rates, may claim this as a victory. Changes in demographics work in other ways besides reducing driving. "White flight" and new suburbs in cornfields mean more and more city workers use expressways for larger portions of their commute. Again, those are far safer than city streets. One that I believe is very important, but only rarely credited, is that emergency medical equipment and techniques have gotten markedly better. There's technology in ERs that never existed before. And physicians really do know a lot more now than even 20 years ago. What I'd love to see would be more competence and courtesy from all road users - motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians - because of public information campaigns and other education efforts. Sadly, I think that's a negligible contribution to the improvements we've seen. - Frank Krygowski |

A couple of points on reading all the above.
The Australian accident statistics improvement must be in large part due to the cracking down on drink-driving in that country. I hae me doots about the relative risk of cycling v. driving. I've known in my life three people killed in car crashes and I've known seven killed off bikes. In addition, the last time (I've done it twice) I cycled Lands End to John O'Groats, one day at coffee four of us were chatting and each one of us had been struck by a car and injured while cycling (we were all in our early sixties). I feel that cycling would be safer if there was an apparatus in a car which rendered the use of a phone impossible while driving. They are undoubtedly a menace. |

In my rather long post above listing some causes of increased road safety, I'd intended to mention the big campaigns against drunk driving, but I lost track of it. I should also have mention speed enforcement and red light cameras, although they're unpopular (since people apparently feel they have a constitutional right to speed and run red lights). One cycling advocate I know well said she was against such cameras. Then she came across data for her city which showed that the intersections where they were installed had _tremendous_ drops in crashes. I feel that cycling would be safer if there was an apparatus in a car which rendered the use of a phone impossible while driving. They are undoubtedly a menace. I've longed for a device to jam all cell signals within a couple hundred feet of me when I'm on the road. Preferably with a loud, loud blast of sound into the ear of the offender! - Frank Krygowski |
