For certain cyclists, riding a bicycle represents a hobby; for others, it is their primary means of transportation.  It is important for all riders to use their bicycle in a considerate way and follow the rules of the road. In Montréal, the assessment of incidents between road vehicles and cyclists reveals that there are nearly 650 collisions annually.

In 2011, the number of fatalities among cyclists remained the same, at 10% of all traffic fatalities.

In 3 out of 4 fatal collisions, the cyclist’s behaviour was the cause. This year, cyclists suffered 6 more serious injuries than in 2010 and 112 fewer minor injuries.
