NSW: A Place for Bicycles - Strategies for promoting safety |
|
The NSW Injury Risk Management Research Centre and The University of New South Wales present a bicycle safety seminar: Increased concern for the environment and skyrocketing petrol prices have more and more people pushing pedals on their way from A to B. Cycling, both for transport and recreation has health benefits that can be maximised by managing injury risks.
Increased numbers of cyclists, and incidents such as occurred recently in southern Sydney, highlighting a pressing need to address issues relating to:
- Cycling infrastructure, cycling lanes and shared facilities
- Attitudes to shared use of roads and transport facilities
- Is there a role for training and education in reducing injury risks?
Our seminar aims to present current research and strategies
relating to these issues, as a basis for discussion of future directions
