Non-Motor Bicycle Accidents (Survey for People Residing in USA)
Dear Bicyclists
I am a graduate student at Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville working under Dr. Greg Luttrell. I am working on non-motor bicycle accidents which constitute nearly 90% of bicycle crashes in United States. The study will come up with the following results: 1. Frequent list of non-motor bicycle accidents. 2. Analyze different type of accidents and provide an explanation of the range of events causing injury to the bicyclists. I have prepared a questionnaire for this study. The questionnaires are available in 3 formats Microsoft word, Adobe Acrobat, and Text on the following website: http://www.siue.edu/~vseelam/ The Adobe Acrobat and Text format can be saved by right clicking the mouse on the link and selecting "save target as" option in the pop up window. I would be very grateful if you all can fill in the survey and e-mail it back to me at or send it by land mail to my professor's address Dr. Greg Luttrell, Civil Engineering, Campus Box 1800, SIUE, Edwardsville, IL 62026. Thanking You Sincerely Vijaysimha N Seelam |

Sounds like another attempt to justify removing us from the roads. Phil Brown |

... Sorry, I don't agree. Bicycle trails are simply a stealth method of removing us from the roads. This sounds a little paranoid. Are there any examples of jurisdictions that have banned bicycles from roads? I can't think of one example in Ontario, controlled access highways being the exception. Additionally, he plainly states that he's investigating path surfaces. I highly doubt he's setting policy for the state. Having said that, I don't disagree that there is a lot that can be done to improve road design for cyclists. Scott.. |

... well, 18 states (AL, CO, GA, KS, LA, MI, NE, NY, ND, OK, OR, PA, SC, UT, VT, VA, WV, WY **) have laws requiring cyclists to get off the road and use adjacent sidepaths if they exist. ** CO, GA, MI, OK, OR, PA, UT, VT, VA only apply if there is a local ordinance. Interesting. That's really rather unfortunate. I take it back Phil. Perhaps you're not as paranoid as I would think! How did these get passed? What was the logic? I assume something along the lines of "cyclist safety". Scott.. |

I assume something along the lines of "cyclist safety". That's OK, even paranoids have enemies. And yes, that's the logic and if the road surface is dangerous they shouldn't be there. Here in Marin county they tried about 30 years go to ban bikes along a road with a seperate bike path. We fought it and won. Phil Brown |
