Bicycle accidents for the three-year period covering July, 1965, through June, 1968, were analyzed according to a number of variables. In addition to comparing fatal and non-fatal bicycle accidents with each other, further comparisons were made with sample data for 1966 motor vehicle accidents in North Carolina. The variables investigated covered five major categories. The first category involves features of the situation in which the accident occurred, such as the time of day, the weather conditions, and the road conditions. The second category concerns characteristics of the accident itself, namely the vehicle maneuver involved, the approximate speed of the motor vehicle, and the point of contact with the motor vehicle. The third category concerns the presence of defects in the motor vehicle and whether the motor vehicle driver was charged with a traffic violation. Certain characteristics of the driver are reported in the fourth category, namely sex, age, and physical condition. The fifth category concerns the bicyclist and includes information concerning sex and age. (Author)
