N2  - On average, 140 cyclists are killed each year on Britain's roads and a further 22 785 injured. About a third of those injured are children. This review examines the nature and circumstances of cycling injuries and contrasts them with the risks associated with other modes of transport. It looks at the effectiveness of cycle helmet use and suggests other measures to best reduce cycling injuries.
