Abstract

As bicycles become increasingly popular, the prevention of traffic accidents is becoming a major issue in our efforts to improve bicycle writing environments. In particular, effective traffic education is needed for teenage cyclists who account for a large percentage of bicycle accidents, and senior cyclists who account for a large percentage of cyclist fatalities. There is a need for a greater number of opportunities for cyclists to take part in traffic education programs that impart knowledge and skills needed for accident prevention, as well as the need to popularize education programs that incorporate simulators and other facilities to help develop more in-depth awareness among cyclists of their day-to-day riding habits. These programs should be designed to instill an active awareness of safety, in which cyclists are ultimately responsible for their own well-being.
