Evidence from Safety Research to Update Cycling Training Materials in Canada

This PowerPoint presentation present the scientific literature that was searched and reviewed for evidence about cycling injury risk, injury severity, and other safety data. Cycling education materials were compiled from drivers’ licensing agencies and cyclist education programs. The scientific evidence was summarized then compared to messages in education materials to determine where there were agreements, disagreements or gaps. The aim of this project is to improve cycling safety training by comparing cycling education materials to research evidence on cycling safety.
