A Right to the Road: Understanding & Addressing Bicyclist Safety

The following is an excerpt from a League of American Bicyclist email:

"As traffic fatalities are up across the board, bicyclist deaths rose 12.2% in 2015, the largest percentage increase of any other roadway user group that year. To address this troubling trend, GHSA and State Farm^® have partnered on a new report, A Right to the Road: Understanding & Addressing Bicyclist Safety."
