Traffic safety of older cyclists; crash risk of cyclists with functional limitations

Older cyclists have a high crash risk in the Netherlands. However, it is important for their health to keep active as long as possible. Thus, it is important to find ways to enhance the safety of older cyclists. In order to do that we have extracted from scientific literature age-related physical and mental functional limitations that affect cycling. In the present research we want to test this theoretical link by calculating the crash risk of older cyclists with these functional limitations. This research is step two of a three-year program subsidized by the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water management.
