However, the county’s average yearly crash rate for bicycle-car accidents is 2.5 per 10,000 people. This rate is substantially higher than the next highest county with a rate of just 1.9 crashes per 10,000 people. While increased numbers of bicyclists will increase the odds of a bicycle-car accident, the county is looking into ways to try and bring this rate down. Regardless of the numbers, bikers still flock to the area and make ample use of the city’s biker-friendly trails.
