Abstract:The study found that bikesharing users have lower vehicle-involved collision rates than standard measures of collision rates for personal bicyclists. This implies that bikesharing users appear to avoid collisions more than regular cyclists, which naturally reduces their exposure to injury. Additionally, Bikesharing and Bicycle Safety explored the role of “safety in numbers” in bikesharing, and whether bikesharing activity contributes to a reduction in the broader number of bicycle collisions within operating areas. The study concluded that there is no strong evidence that bikesharing is having a broader safety in numbers impact on bicycling overall.
