Question 8: Have you ever been in a bicke
accident?
Because bike safety is big part of I Am RVA’s
mission, we wanted to assess how many
people had been involved in bicycle accidents.
While majority had not been in an accident,
24% of the respondents reported that
they had. Data shows that 61% of these accidents
occured among respondents age 21-26.
Question 9: Do you read articles on
bicycle safety?
When asked if they read articles about
bike safety, 87% of respondents reported
they do not. Currently, 13% do
read articles, but we believe that there
could be an increase in bike safety readers
if delivered in an entertaining way.
