Interesting that this came up, I was just thinking about this. From the PBA online newsroom…
ATLANTA, GA (WABE) - It may seem counter-intuitive but if you're an adult and you're riding a bike on a sidewalk, you're about 3 to 5 times more likely to be hit by a car. That's what Rebecca Serna of the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition says.
"[Those statistics make sense] when you think of all the driveways and intersections where cars can potentially hit someone riding on a bike, you're not expecting someone to come up suddenly and shoot across that driveway or that intersection."
Update: Here's more information from the ABC, link here.
