骑自行车的人在所有道路死亡人数中占一小部分。自行车/机动车碰撞死亡人数少于行人/机动车死亡人数。研究表明，骑自行车者的非致命伤害不是随机分布的，而是遵循美国和斯堪的纳维亚半岛不同的年龄和性别趋势。虽然本文所回顾的与自行车有关的死亡事件并不构成我们地理区域内所有此类病例的完整概况，但对这些病例的回顾确实提供了对美国城市和农村骑自行车者致命受伤的非随机人群的深入了解。对36例自行车相关死亡病例进行了回顾性人口统计学和法医学分析，以阐明这一非随机人群的特征。一致的功能，包括年龄和性别，模式的伤害和冒险行为进行了讨论。24名成年骑自行车者中有3人（12%）死于枪击。
Bicycle riders constitute a small subgroup of all roadway deaths. Bicycle/motor vehicle collision fatalities are less frequent than pedestrian/motor vehicle fatalities. Studies have shown that non-fatal injuries of bicyclists are not randomly distributed, but follow age and sex trends that differ in the U.S. and Scandinavia. Although the bicycle-related fatalities reviewed herein do not constitute a complete profile of all such cases within our geographic area, review of these cases does provide insight into the non-random population of fatally injured cyclists in urban and rural America. A retrospective demographic and forensic medical review of 36 bicycle-related fatalities was done to clarify features of this non-random population. Consistent features including age and sex, patterned injuries and risk-taking behavior are discussed. Three of 24 (12%) adult cyclists died of homicidal gunshot wounds.
