Bike share programs are staggeringly safe. According to a recent analysis by Reuters, not a single person has ever died using bike share in the United States, out of about 23 million total rides across 36 different programs, in places like New York and Denver and Boston. Experts say thats because the bikes are sturdy, slow, and reliable. More importantly, bike sharing programs put many more cyclists on the road, and as study after study has shown, theres safety in numbers. As for helmet laws—as opposed to voluntary individual use of helmets—the data is overwhelming: They discourage cycling and reduce the number of cyclists on the road, even though increasing the number of cyclists yields the greatest safety benefits.
