Ken Cross produced the first, and in some ways still the best, statistical study of car-bike collisions for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. He then applied his statistics to describe the functions required of a bicycle-safety educational program, in this paper written for the AAA Traffic-Safety Foundation. Unfortunately, his description was too complex and insufficiently organized. I review it here:
