The 2006 OBC Bicycling Accident Surveys will close May
31, 2007.
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!
How do you decide which to take? If your accident
occurred on a street, road or multi-use trail
(runners, skaters, walkers, etc) use the Road Survey.
If your accident occurred on a mountain bike trail
(typically single track) or off-road area use the
Mountain Bike Survey. Its not the style of bike, but
the location that's important!

(Yahoo Newsgroups do funny things to links. If it's
broken just copy the text above into your browser
address bar with no spaces.)
Last year the 2005 survey showed 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 surveys will close on
May 31, 2007. If you know someone who had a bicycling
accident in 2006 please point them to the proper link.
Results will be posted on the yahoo Oklahoma cycling
newsgroups.
Thanks for your help.
