Epidemiology of cyclist and moped rider's casualties

From approximately 15000 traffic casualties material has been selected concerning 1106 cyclists and 1377 moped riders, whose lesions are compared with those of 981 pedestrians. It was not possible to point out any difference between cyclists and moped riders with regard to distribution of lesions or severity. However, there was an obvious overweight of femoral and crural fractures in pedestrians. It appeared, that there was a uniform localization and tendency of concentration for the accidents, but there were certain localities, where only one category of road users collided with cars. /TRRL/
