BICYCLE SAFETY HIGHWAY USERS INFORMATION REPORToriginally published as DOT HS-803 206 January 1978 Department of Transportation
About the study and the reportThis report summarizes the results of a study of the Bikecentennial bicycle touring event of 1976, in which 4,065 bicyclists rode at total of 10.4 million miles along a designated route between Oregon and Virginia, primarily in rural areas. Because records of each bicyclist's mileage were collected, as well as accident descriptions, the report contains valuable information about bicycle touring, including accident types and accident rates. The authors have given their blessings to this republication, but also, as a document prepared under a U. S. Government contract, the report is in the public domain.
