Crowdsourced bicycling crashes and near misses: trends in Canadian cities
Crowdsource bicycling incident reports across 9 Canadian cities suggest dangerous passes are the most commonly reported bicycling incidents, with the highest ratio of near misses to collisions (9:1) while incident types leading to highest proportion of injury were with motor vehicles turning left.

To scoot or not to scoot: Findings from a recent survey about the benefits and barriers of using E-scooters for riders and non-rider
E-scooters used more for transport than recreation, potentially filling a niche. Also viewed as convenient, faster, and better in hot weather than walking. Non-white non-riders significantly more likely to intend to try e-scooters. E-scooters disproportionately replace walking and bicycling for all trip types. Women significantly more likely to cite safety-related barriers to e-scooter use.

Impact of Public Bicycle Share Programs on Bicycling Collisions
This project evaluated how implementing public bicycle share programs (PBSPs) affected the likelihood of bicycling collisions across multiple North American cities. Using a difference-in-differences approach applied to repeated cross-sectional survey data, it shows that crash odds did not increase after PBSP implementation and were notably lower in cities with existing programs, supporting the safety of well-established bike share systems.
