context for safety in cycling
Such accidents throw a light on the dangers in cycling, which can arise from distractions and inattentiveness of the cyclists. An analysis of the Federal Agency for Roads (BAST) shows that men have a higher risk of accidents, especially among people over the age of 65. The number of unreported bicycle accidents, which is estimated at around 70%, is worrying .
In addition, there was a survey of over 2,000 cyclists that showed that more than 50% distracts through phone calls or consider music to be dangerous. Younger cyclists are increasingly tend to distract them, which leads to an increased risk of accidents. Further findings showed that the majority of accidents are sole accidents and that head injuries in particular occur frequently, especially among cyclists who do not wear a helmet.
In the context of these findings, the need for information and preventive measures for cyclists is obvious. Potential for improvement lies in the cycling infrastructure, the increased monitoring of misconduct and in the promotion of helmet use to avoid serious injuries.
