Children's bicycle safety education does not reduce injuries

Learning to ride a bicycle is a common and joyful experience of childhood (up to 68% of children reported riding a bicycle in a two‐week period) that has many health benefits.1,2 However, children have the highest bicycle‐related injury rates compared to other age groups. In NSW, bicycle injury‐related hospitalisations in people aged 5‐14 years account for approximately half of all bicycle injury‐related hospitalisations.3
