The number of bicycle accidents in road traffic has increased over the past twelve years at twelve percent. As the Auto Club Europa (ACE) now tells, last year 82 520 cyclists involved in accidents with injuries, representing about 14 percent of all road traffic casualties.
This is the proportion of heavy Radu happiness in children is relatively high: One in three deaths in road traffic accident boy under 15 years old was riding a bicycle. The highest wounded were in the age group between 45 and 55 years. While men were more often involved in serious accidents. Particularly dangerous pensioners live - every second on a bicycle was killed in an accident over 65 years old.

A disproportionately high number of drunken cyclists: One in eight cyclists, who was involved in an accident in 2009, was intoxicated or had taken other drugs. In comparison, the car accident was every 22 result on the influence of alcohol back.
