The number of deaths in road accidents in which are involved the users of two-wheel vehicles leads to the need of studying and identifying the causes and the solutions to reduce them. The specialists need to analyze the historical data of road accidents. According to European Transport Safety Council, pedestrian deaths in the EU decreased by 19%, powered two-wheeler (PTW), rider deaths by 20% and vehicle occupant deaths by 24% over the period 2010–2018. Cyclists were the only road user group that saw a stagnation. Romania is in the first three countries with the highest cyclist mortality. In Bucharest, the situation of accidents in which the users of two-wheeled vehicles are involved is not gratifying. The number of accidents from 2016 to 2020 according to the data obtained from General Police Directorate of Bucharest, is increasing. The municipality should speed up the construction of new bicycle lanes, starting with the arteries on which most accidents occurred.
