From the CIBA mission statement: "Of primary concern to the club is the safety of those who participate. We believe our responsibility is to set an example for the community on the proper use of the bicycle."
The Safety Committee encourages your suggestions to improve ride safety. Please contact the CIBA Safety Committee Chairman, Joe Hunter-Lattak.
In 2003, there were 622 bicycling fatalities and 46,000 bicycling injuries resulting from traffic crashes in the United States. While these numbers continue to decrease from year to year, bicyclist fatalities still account for 1.5 percent of all traffic fatalities as well as 2 percent of all traffic injuries.
