Cycling-related injuries and cycling promotion: a trauma service perspective.

CONCLUSION: Hospital admission volumes and rates are rising with underlying variation in patient demography, place and severity of injury. Current policy direction to grow cycling participation based on the health, environmental and economic benefits is ahead of the implementation of safer cycling infrastructure, creating a timing lag. From a regional hospital-based trauma service perspective, this timing lag needs due consideration if the full benefits of increasing participation are to be realised.
