Facts About Biking Accidents
As recently as 2011, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) found that:
- Bicycle fatalities made up more than 2 percent of all motor vehicle accident fatalities, the highest percentage in more than a decade.
- Georgia’s rate of bicycle fatalities is below this national average but it is still 14th highest in the nation.
- Every year, more than 30,000 bicyclists are injured in traffic crashes — more than 1,000 of them in Georgia itself.
