Other major findings from the study were that young cyclists operate by their own rules of the read, often in contradiction to the traffic laws: and that most bicy- cle collisions occur during rush- hour traffic periods. The report •W itS based on the study of 275 motor vehicle collis- ions involving bicyclists in the 111 etropolitan Toronto area and a questionaire survey of more than 1,00.10 young male bicycle owners. The study was conducted by the Safety and Environmental Studies Section of the Transports Depart.- men, Transport Minister irwin Haskett said • it was the first in- depth study of its kind in Canada and -perhaps in Ninth •America.".
