Page 3 <br /> <br />There was one more bicyclist collision this <br />year, 37 compared to 36 last year and 34 for <br />the three-year average. Pedestrian collisions <br />decreased by one, with eight compared to <br />nine last year and twelve for the three-year <br />average. Bicycle collisions have remained <br />relatively stable despite an increase in <br />bicycling activity, resulting in a lower crash <br />rate. <br />Micromobility (e-bike/e-scooter4) continues to represent a meaningful share of bicycle-coded collisions <br />and is monitored as a distinct trend. There were nine electric bicycle collisions, and six electric scooter <br />collisions included in the current 37 <br />bicycle collisions. Starting in 2022 there <br />has been a growing number of electric <br />scooter collisions. The uptick in these <br />types of collisions mirrors the growing <br />popularity of these types of micromobility <br />vehicles. It is likely that the use of e- <br />bike/scooter is replacing traditional bikes <br />as the number of bicycle collisions has <br />not increased despite the increase in e- <br />bike crashes. <br />Primary collision factors (PCF)5 (by <br />percentage) showed significant decreases in <br />auto right-of-way and unsafe speed. There <br />was a four percent increase in following too <br />closely which may explain the decrease in <br />unsafe speed collisions (these factors can be <br />closely related depending on officer coding <br />practices). <br />Unsafe speed and improper turning are the <br />most common reasons for collisions. The two <br />combine to account for 40% of all collisions. <br />Historically, these two factors have <br />consistently ranked first and second, with <br />traffic signals/signs ranking third. <br /> <br /> <br />4 Electric scooter includes electric skateboards/one-wheel devices <br />5 The primary collision factor is the main cause of the collision as determined by the investigating officer <br /> <br />16 <br />8 <br />16 17 <br />7 8 <br />15 11 9 8 <br />31 33 38 <br />31 26 28 33 32 36 37 <br />2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 <br />Pedestrian and Bicycle Collisions <br />Pedestrian Bicycle <br />0 <br />2 1 1 0 <br />2 <br />9 <br />0 <br />2 2 <br />5 <br />7 <br />5 6 <br />2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 <br />Electric Bicycle and Electric Scooter Collisions <br />Electric Bicycle <br />Electric Scooter (includes electric skateboards/one-wheel devices)
