In 1981, pedal cyclist casualties were mostly children and teenagers. In 2004, pedal cyclist casualties were mostly spread across the age range from 16 to 49. Child pedal cyclist casualties reached a maximum in 1982 1987, and have fallen sharply since. Adult pedal cyclist casualties reached a maximum in 1987-1990, and then fell. A more detailed examination is made of the situation in the period 2001-2004. Data are given on several aspects of both child and adult casualties: time, place, site, events, the cyclist, and the motor vehicle and its driver. | Publisher | Department of Transport, Energy and Infrastructure | Publisher City | Adelaide | ISBN | 1876346566 | Conference Name | 2008 Australasian Road Safety Research, Policing and Education Conference | Conference Abbreviation | RSR | Conference Location | Adelaide, Australia | Conference Date | 9-12 November 2008 | Page Range | 527-539 | Page Count | 13 |
