Bicyclist-bicyclist crashes-a medical and technical crash analysis.

Conclusion: The prevalence of bicycle-to-bicycle crashes is high. Most of these accidents occur in urban areas. Bicyclists should be considered as minimally or unprotected road users, with an unsatisfactorily low rate of helmet use. Though the average level and patterns of injuries is moderate, most of the severe injuries involved the head and extremities. However, there was no significant correlation between frequent helmet use and sustained injuries to the head of major AIS. PMID: 23259519 [PubMed - in process]
