The Impact of Implementing Public Bicycle Share Programs on Bicycle Crashes
Data from 8 North American show the odds of reporting a bicycling crash were lower in cities that had existing PBSPs (Boston, Montreal, Toronto).

Cyclist crash rates and risk factors in a prospective cohort in seven European cities
Data from 7 European cities show higher crash risks for less frequent cyclists, men, those who perceive cycling to not be well regarded in their neighbourhood, and those who live in areas of very high building density.

Impacts of study design on sample size, participation bias, and outcome measurement: a case study from bicycling research
In our case study we found that measuring bicycling once, resulted in a larger sample with better representation of sociodemographic groups, but different estimates of long-term bicycling behaviour.

Associations between individual characteristics, availability of bicycle infrastructure, and city-wide safety perceptions of bicycling: a cross-sectional survey of bicyclists in 6 Canadian and U.S. cities
We found bicyclists with greater spatial access to bicycling specific infrastructure had a higher likelihood of perceiving bicycling to be safe.

Cycling safety: Quantifying the under reporting of cycling incidents in Vancouver, British Columbia
Official safety data underreport the burden of cycling safety incidents. In Vancouver, British Columbia only 1 in 8 cycling incidents were reported to insurance claim. The burden of cycling safety incidents is much greater than official data sources suggest. Innovations are needed for cycling safety surveillance.

Comparing Crowdsourced Near-Miss and Collision Cycling Data and Official Bike Safety Reporting
Crowdsourced collision data have potential to fill in gaps in reports to official collision sources and that crowdsourced near-miss reporting may be influenced by perceptions of risk.

Adjusting local alcohol consumption data for influence of tourists
We explored a method for adjusting estimates of per capita alcohol consumption for tourist influence in 26 census divisions (CD) in British Columbia, Canada. The adjustments for tourist influence decreased consumption estimates by approximately 2% provincially and between 1% and 16%, regionally.

Evaluation of different radon guideline values based on characterization of ecological risk and visualization of lung cancer mortality trends in British Columbia, Canada
We examined how different radon concentration thresholds were associated with patterns of regional radon vulnerability, estimated areas and populations at risk, and lung cancer mortality trends in BC. Lowering the threshold from its current guideline value of 200 to 50 Bq m−3 resulted in better classification accuracy, a 2.5-fold increase in the relatively small population at risk, and persistent separation in lung cancer mortality trends between areas of high and low vulnerability.
