Medcan Research: The Circumstances of Cyclist Injuries
Dr. Stephen Friedman, Senior Medical Consultant here at Medcan, is one of the authors of a recent study of cycling accidents in Toronto and Vancouver.
Cycling is sustainable mode of transportation that has many individual and population health benefits; unfortunately, the risk of injuries discourages people from cycling. In addition, injuries result in trauma and costs at both the individual and societal levels. This study was conducted to explore the causes of cycling accidents in the hope of making cycling a safer transportation alternative.
