Page 10 <br /> <br /> Bicycle Collision Statistics <br />Similar to the pedestrian collision section, the <br />location, fault and age statistics were reviewed <br />for bicycle collisions to determine if patterns <br />exist. The percentages of bike collisions that <br />occurred in a crosswalk, on a sidewalk, in a <br />bike lane, or simply on the “road” (outside of a <br />bike lane or crosswalk) are shown on the bar <br />graph to the right. Similar to the pedestrian <br />collisions, the greater number of collisions <br />within a crosswalk does not necessarily indicate <br />reduced safety. There was a reduction in <br />collisions on the road with slight increase in all <br />other location types. <br />Party at fault (bicyclist, driver or unknown) is <br />shown on the bar graph to the right. Bicyclist <br />were found at fault in 33% of the collisions <br />(excluding the solo bicycle collisions). This is a <br />five percent increase from the last period. The <br />percentage of collisions where the driver was at <br />fault decreased slightly (67% this period and <br />70% last period). <br />The Bicyclist Age chart shows the differences <br />between age categories. The under 18 category <br />has the largest share of bicycle collisions, 47% <br />(40 of the 86)8. <br />Solo Bicyclist Collisions <br />Thirty-one percent of all bicycle collisions are <br />“solo” collisions. These crashes occur mainly in <br />two user groups, those under the age of 18, and <br />those over the age of 55. There were nine solo <br />collisions under the age of 18 and ten over the <br />age of 55 (33% and 37% respectively). <br /> <br /> <br />8 There are 86 collisions in the current period where age of the bicyclist was determined (there were 87 total bicyclist <br />collisions) <br />0% <br />10% <br />20% <br />30% <br />40% <br />50% <br />crosswalk sidewalk road bike lane <br />Location of Bicycle Collisions <br />Current Period Previous Period <br />0% <br />5% <br />10% <br />15% <br />20% <br />25% <br />30% <br />35% <br />40% <br />crosswalk sidewalk road bike lane <br />Location of Bicycle Collisions <br />Current Period Previous Period <br />0% <br />20% <br />40% <br />60% <br />80% <br />Bicyclist Driver Unknown <br />Party at Fault in Bicycle Collisions <br />Current Period Previous Period <br />9 <br />35 <br />10 <br />Bicyclist Age for Solo Collisions <br />under 18 18-35 36-54 55+ <br />40 <br />13 13 20 <br />40 <br />10 11 <br />22 <br />0% <br />20% <br />40% <br />60% <br />under 18 18-35 36-54 55+ <br />Bicyclist Age <br />Current Period Previous Period
