CIHT East Midlands is excited to offer this webinar on cycling safety and the role of gender in the crash injury outcomes with Dr. Natalia Barbour, Assistant Professor at University of Central Florida (UCF).
Given the climate crisis and the ongoing efforts in mitigating transportation related emissions, cycling has been emerging as a promising alternative and a climate friendly mobility solution. To fully tap into the potential of cycling, its safety impacts on different socio-demographic groups must be given a full consideration. It is necessary to rethink cycling safety and the role of gender in cyclist crash injury severity outcomes for conventional bikes and e-bikes.
The findings of this research emphasize the need for targeted approaches in designing our cities and policy making that account for the collective differences in behavior and experience of women and men cyclists.
