Abstract

Data are presented on characteristics of child pedal cycle casualties (as recorded by the police) in South Australia for the period 2001-2004, and how they have changed over the longer period 1981-2008. The factors considered in this paper include site and events, characteristics of the cyclist, and characteristics of the motor vehicle and its driver.
