The World Bank's Health Services and General Services Departments sponsored a survey of more than 1,000 World Bank cyclists last summer. Over 550 people responded, providing detailed information about their cycling routes, accident experience, safety equipment and more. From these data, exposure-adjusted accident rates were computed, providing a more comprehensive picture of cycling safety than previously available anywhere. The report on the survey was recently presented to the joint Bank-Fund Health and Safety Working Group. The report also includes an estimate of the CO2 emissions avoided by Bank Group staff and recommendations for increasing the numbers and safety of Bank staff commuting by bike.
