The New York Cycle Club (NYCC) is conducting a survey to gather bicycling accident information from a diverse population of cyclists. Anyone may submit one or more bicycling accident survey responses. Whether you had a minor or major accident, or observed one, live in New York or far away, please click here to enter a survey response.

The results of this ongoing world-wide survey will eventually be compiled, analyzed, and published here. In the meantime, below are links to a few other cycling safety related studies that may be of interest to you. It is worth noting, these studies are the result of compiling accident statistics from police reports or by performing a controlled experiment.

The NYCC Cycling Risk Assessment Study differs as the information collected is completely voluntarily and in most cases represents first hand accounts by the person experiencing the accident or someone closely related to such person. In turn it will provide more up-to-date research as most of the studies cited below are at least 7 years old.

Why is the NYCC performing this risk assessment study?

Per the New York Cycle Club (NYCC) by-laws, "The purpose of the Club are [is] to provide bicycling activities for the enjoyment of its members, and the furtherance of bicycling as a means of recreation, companionship, fitness, and transportation."

Naturally, safety comes to mind when enjoying such activity. The New York Cycle Club has a lot to offer in that regard. To list a few:

• providing formal organized rides across the Tri-State area
• instructional SIG training annually, each Spring
• cycling friendly routes
• a Youth riding program
• hands-on bicycle maintenance and repair workshops.
