Interesting study reported in Freakonomics blog that suggests that 90% of bicycle accidents in Toronto were the result of clumsy or inattentive driving by motorists. Who causes cyclists deaths?
Among the leading causes of cycling accidents were:
- cars running a stop sign or traffic light,
- cars turning into a cyclist’s path,
- cars opening a door on a biker
It might be a surprise to some but not most cyclists.

intresting to find out the split between cars and vans/lorries.
Not really much of a suprise there, cyclists have to more attentive because any error on their part could have serious consequences.
