Cities remain dangerous for cyclists

Cities remain particularly dangerous for cyclists, according to a new analysis of federal accident data.

A third of all serious or fatal accidents involving bicycles happen in cities with populations over 20,000. 

Accidents involving bikes are rising almost everywhere, with more injuries and deaths recorded year on year. 

The 24 Hours newspaper has mapped the figures by canton and commune. 

Urban planners face growing pressure to redesign city streets as cycling continues to grow in popularity.
