    A study of cycle versus vehicle accidents carried out by the University of Colorado, Denver (CU Denver) has found that the chance of collision decreased with more cyclists. The risk of accident was relatively high at intersections with less than 200 cyclists per day. “Anywhere above this threshold is where we are seeing the largest safety benefits,” said co-author Wesley Marshall, PhD, PE, assistant professor of civil engineering at CU Denver’s College of Engineering and Applied Science. The reasons for
