Abstract:

The first automobile crash in the United States occurred in New York City in 1896, when a motor vehicle collided with a pedalcycle rider. More than 46,000 pedalcyclists have died in traffic crashes in the United States since 1932 -- the first year in which estimates of pedalcyclist fatalities were recorded. The 350 pedalcyclists killed in 1932 accounted for 1.3% of the 27,979 persons who died in traffic crashes that year. In 1999, 750 pedalcyclists were killed and an additional 51,000 were injured in traffic crashes. Pedalcyclist deaths accounted for 2% of all traffic fatalities, and pedalcyclists made up 2% of all the people injured in traffic crashes during the year. The number of pedalcyclist fatalities in 1999 was 10% lower than the 832 fatalities reported in 1989. The highest number of pedalcyclist fatalities ever recorded in the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) was 1,003 in 1975. Additional statistics on pedalcyclist fatalities and injuries in 1999 are provided in this traffic safety fact sheet.
