Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask His Majesty's Government what information (1) the Home Office, and (2) other departments, have regarding the number of casualties caused by pedal cyclists and e-bikes to pedestrians in the past 20 years.
Answered by Lord Davies of Gower - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
The Department for Transport publishes road casualty statistics based on personal injury road collisions reported to the police via the STATS19 reporting system.
Electrically assisted pedal cycles are included in the pedal cycle category depending on their power output.
The table below shows the annual number of pedestrian casualties where they were in collision with a pedal cycle from 2003 to 2022 (the latest year that data is available for). There may also be other vehicles involved in the overall collision.
