Cycling Injuries Increasing Among Middle-Age & Older Adults

More U.S. adults, particularly those older than 45, are visiting the emergency room for bicycle-related injuries in recent years, according to a new study. Researchers examined emergency room visits for bicycle-related injuries between 1998 and 2013. In 1998-1999, people in this age group accounted for 23 percent of ER visits for bike injuries, but in 2012-2013, they accounted for 42 percent of these ER visits.
