Figure
4.05 shows that the majority of
bicyclists sustained an injury (89%)
compared to 22% of all crash
participants. The percentage of
bicyclist fatalities was the same as for
all crash participants (0.3%). There were
3 bicyclists killed on Utah public
roadways in 1997, compared to 8 bicyclist
killed during 1996.
Table 4.11 shows the number of
bicyclists, injured bicyclists and
bicyclist fatalities involved in motor
vehicle crashes by county. While most of
bicyclists were involved in crashes
occurring in Salt Lake County, this
county did not have the highest rates per
vehicle miles traveled. The leading
counties for bicyclists and injured
bicyclists involved in a motor vehicle
crash per miles traveled were Garfield,
Utah and Grand.
