This paper examines the fatal bicycle accidents which occurred in the period 1981–1984 in Victoria with particular emphasis on nighttime fatalities. The examination provides information on aspects of accident location, environment, problem type, time, and cyclist characteristics. The relationship between actual accidents and cyclists perceived collision danger is also investigated. The characteristics of fatal bicycle accidents are different to those of overall “casualty” accidents. A difference also exists between day and night, and between metropolitan and nonmetropolitan fatal accidents.
