The 2006 OBC Bicycling Accident Surveys are still
open.
So far we've had reports from about 30 bicyclists.
That's about half the number from 2005.
If you suffered a bicycling accident during 2006 we'd
like to know about it.
This year there are two surveys: one for road
bicyclists, one for trail/mountain bicyclists. The
links below will take you to the appropriate survey.
Some of us many need to use both!
Mountain Bike Accident Survey:

Road Bike Accident Survey:

(Yahoo Newsgroups does funny things to links. If it's
broken just copy the text above into your browser
address bar with no spaces.)
As we learned from last year's 2005 survey, bicycle
accidents are under reported because if the police
aren't called, no statistics are sent to DPS. Since
many communities are now planning improvements to
bicycling facilities this information can help them
learn what causes bicycle accidents and hopefully
correct problems before they are built.
All responses are anonymous. The survey will be open
for 30 more days, and will close on May 31, 2007.
If you know someone who had a bicycling accident in
2006 please point them to the proper link.
Thanks for your help.
