By Charles Pekow — Pedalcyclist fatalities appear to have declined by 1% in the first half of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, according to preliminary estimates from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Fatalities decreased from 467 to 462, including incidents involving e-bikes, traditional bicycles, tricycles, and similar vehicles.
While a reduction of five fatalities may seem statistically small, roadway deaths have decreased slightly across all categories, indicating a gradual improvement in overall roadway safety.
