Abstract
A rationale is presented for why bicycle safety education may be more effective at reducing injuries than was the case for driver training. In contrast to the licensing exams and widespread knowledge that make driver training generally redundant, there are no requirements and little general knowledge for cycling; bicycle safety education programs can improve the skills and knowledge of cyclists. The results of an observational study of middle school children and a questionnaire study of adults are consistent with previous suggestions that cycle safety classes can change cyclist behavior and reduce crash risk.
