AGE-SPECIFIC CRITICAL BEHAVIORS OF BICYCLISTS IN CALIFORMIA BICYCLE/MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISIONS
This paper presents age-specific critical behaviours of the bicyclists as a basis for countermeasure development with regard to age. Countermeasure activity that addresses these critical behaviours exists only to a limited extent, particularly in the teenage and young adult area. City accident information was collected as part of the American Automobile Association's Special Survey on Bicycling and Bicycle Accident Records for 1974. Some 11 categories are used to identify actions of the bicyclist prior to a collision involving a motor vehicles. /HSRI/
