More than half of U.S. Americans worry about being hit by a motor vehicle when riding a bike, according to an October 2022 survey. Only 17 percent of respondents reported that they felt safer cycling at the time of survey than they did five years ago. Yet, over half of respondents said cycling is a convenient way for them to travel in their area.
