		Bicycle Safety
	"	About 85 million adults and children ride their bikes every year. For children and teens, the bicycle is a primary means of transportation. Every morning an estimated half million people bike to work in the United States. Each year, more than 500,000 bicyclists of all ages sustain a cycling injury that requires emergency department care. Of the approximately 800 bicyclists killed annually, about 750 are killed in traffic crashes. More than half of the bicyclists riding in or near traffic report feeling unsafe." *National Strategies for Advancing Bicycle Safety - A Call to Action*
