Cycling is safer in numbers says ctc. CTC claims that the reports authors have also failed to address this point and said that it had used the World Health Organisations Health Economic Assessment Tool to quantify the impact. The safest places to cycle are those with high cycle use. For specific advice and the legalities of event organising and leading see the CTC advice sheet.

Roger Geffen CTCs Campaigns and Policy Manager said. Researchers in the field of traffic safety posit that the more cyclists there are on the road the safer riding becomes for all cyclists. Thats the message of CTC s Safety in Numbers campaign which explains that the more people cycle the safer it is for each individual cyclist since places with high levels of.

Instead CTC says more people should be encouraged to cycle thereby creating the effect of Safety in Numbers- the name of one of its campaigns. In London there has been a 91 increase in cycle use on the capitals main roads since 2000 and a 33 reduction in cycle casualties in roughly the same period. Yet despite this local councils are often reluctant to encourage cycling for fear that this would lead to more casualties and some even think the best way to meet their safety targets is to scare people off cycling altogether.

The obvious answer is that there are more cyclists on the road but accidents are increasing at a faster rate than the number of two-wheels. While there was also a rise in the rate of fatalities per billion kilometres travelled the long-term trend according to an analysis of the data by CTC shows that cycling is still much safer than it was 20 years ago but the national cyclists organisation insists that the rate of casualties is. More and safer cycling can and should go hand in hand.

A growing body of evidence suggests that cyclists gain from safety in numbers says a spokeswoman for the CTC the UKs national cycle charity. I dont know the area so I dont know the types of cyclists that would even try to use that area. The WHOs statement has delighted the CTC the UK cycling organisation who presented their own evidence in a report entitled Safety in Numbers.

The fact its going up faster than. It is a not-for-profit organisation funded. A package of measures announced today by Transport Minister Stephen Hammond and London Mayor Boris Johnson to help make cycling conditions safer in the capital is good news.

There is plenty of evidence showing that cycling gets safer the more cyclists there are. Yesterday the CTC launched its Safety in Numbers research showing that the places in the country with the most cycling activity have the lowest numbers of cycling casualties. Their research shows York Cambridgeshire and Hull are the places with the highest cycle use and are also the safest places in the country to cycle.

CTC has been researching cycle safety for over a century. Formerly known as the Bicycle Touring Club and then the Cyclists Touring Club CTC was founded in 1878 to protect and promote the rights of cyclists. Leisure cycling is inherently safe and has a safety record that leads insurers and legal advisers to assure CTC that cycling and its volunteers should have very little to fear from threats of negligence or liability.

Hold hauliers to account over cyclist fatalities says CTC CTC has today written to urge the Transport Minister to adopt a dramatic new approach over cyclist fatalities that involve HGVs. Allocate 10 of transport funding to cyclingEstablish a National Cycling Office in Dep. CTC stresses that cycling isnt as risky as commonly thought theres one death every 32 million kilometres the equivalent of travelling 800 times around the world and cyclists on average.

I think the concept of prioritising the safety of existing cyclists is sensible. Its important that people are not put off cycling The phenomenon of safety in numbers the name given to a new CTC campaign can be seen throughout Europe. There is good evidence that cycling gets safer the more cyclists there are.

At the Velo-city conference. The correlation between the rise in cycling and the drop in cyclist fatalities and cyclist KSI per bicycle trip suggests that this safety in numbers dynamic may be occurring in New York City. Its cost-free and needs no legislation but will put vulnerable road users at the front of the minds of those running the haulage industry.
