are stats available for recumbent accident rates or is that meteroite shower territory ? like does anyone have personal knowledge ? I doubt there is enough information to be statically valid. -- Tºm Shermªn - 42.435731,-83.985007 I am a vehicular cyclist. |

AFAIK unlike motor vehicles all bicycles are treated as wheeled pedestrians (pedacyclists is the term) in collision statistics. Different types of bicycles and tricycles are not differentiated, indeed bikes and trikes are lumped together. From having spent several years accumulating reports on bicycle wrecks and from personal experience riding a recumbent is more likely to be seen and avoided by an awake, alert, driver because of the WTF factor. Almost all the wrecks I have that report a recumbent bicycle involved the driver was either drunk, asleep, otherwise impaired or out to get bicyclists. The WTF factor only comes in for the driver out to get bicyclists as it reduces the time between identifying the object as a bicycle and deciding to hit it to the point that the driver might miss. |

Casual observation of some recumbents demonstrates them to be tragic accidents 100% of the time, whether being ridden or just sitting stationary. http://kotisivu.suomi.net/mustasuden...eff2%20002.JPG http://www.manytracks.com/Recumbent/.../gmack-4-w.jpg http://www.recumbentriders.org/forum...e/175.imgcache http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...t/DSCN2669.jpg http://www.aloneinaforest.com/wp-con...ke-for-two.jpg |
