According to a 2002 report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), more than 28% of the US population ride bicycles. The number of bike riders continues to increase as more and more people become conscious of alternative transportation health benefits, traffic avoidance, environmental impact and the opportunity to minimize gasoline expenditures. Because of the great weather and population density, there are a large number of bicycle riders in North Texas.
When it comes to determining the number of bicycle-related accidents in North Texas the numbers become much more difficult to determine. Some research reports indicate that fewer than 10% of all bicycle injuries are even reported. Of those reported, the NHTSA figures from a 2006 study show there were 773 bicycle deaths and 44,000 bicycle injuries.
