Bicycles have been a popular means of transport for many years. Especially in times of increased climate discussion, the bicycle has moved further into focus as an environmentally friendly and cost-effective means of transport. Bike lanes and roads are becoming more crowded and new means of transport such as pedelecs or e‑scooters are emerging.
A total of four studies by Münster University Hospital on bicycle accidents and the official accident statistics of the Münster police were compared. In the period from 2009 to 2019, three studies were conducted that considered all bicycle accidents and one study that only considered pedelec riders separately.
The age distribution as well as main causes of accidents remained almost the same over the years. The number of pedelec accidents has increased. Pedelec riders have a higher average age and a higher proportion of intensive care stays; however, this cohort also has a high rate of helmet wearers. Overall, the willingness to wear a helmet seems to have increased.
It should be considered that with increasing bicycle traffic, safety measures must be increased accordingly. In this respect, accident prevention should focus on three major areas, engineering, education and enforcement.
多年来，自行车一直是一种受欢迎的交通方式。尤其是在气候讨论日益增多的时期，自行车作为一种环保且经济高效的交通方式，受到了更多关注。自行车道和道路变得越来越拥挤，电动助力自行车或电动滑板车等新型交通工具也不断涌现。
比较了明斯特大学医院关于自行车事故的四项研究以及明斯特警方的官方事故统计数据。在2009年至2019年期间，进行了三项考虑所有自行车事故的研究和一项单独考虑电动助力自行车骑行者的研究。
多年来，事故的年龄分布以及主要原因几乎保持不变。电动助力自行车事故的数量有所增加。电动助力自行车骑行者的平均年龄较高，入住重症监护病房的比例也较高；然而，这一群体中佩戴头盔的比例也很高。总体而言，佩戴头盔的意愿似乎有所提高。
应该认识到，随着自行车交通量的增加，安全措施也必须相应增加。在这方面，事故预防应集中在三个主要领域，即工程、教育和执法。
