More safety for cyclists Demographic change, greater numbers of cyclists and the rising number of electric-assist bicycles on the roads will lead to more bicycles on the roads, more senior citizens on bicycles and bicycles moving at higher speeds. Measures to improve the safety of cycling are therefore indispensable to prevent this politically desirable development from resulting in a rising number of fatalities and casualties. The UDV (German Insurers Accident Research) explained the concrete measures required to improve the safety of cyclists on the roads in numerous lectures in 2011. As a result, around 1,300 planners, local authority officers and decision-makers throughout Germany have learned more about this issue.
