abstract="This paper describes a sample of two-wheeled motor vehicle and pedal cycle accident casualties treated at a hospital in the city of Birmingham, England. Under reporting of two-wheeled vehicle accidents in national official statistics is shown and the possible reasons and implications of this finding are discussed. The patterns of injuries sustained by the 2 groups of casualties are described with comments on the likely reasons for the observed differences in their injury patterns. A comparison is drawn between the injuries sustained by the TWMV riders in this hospital study and a sample of fatally injured TWMV riders. Finally, the validity of the Treatment Period criteria of the Comprehensive Research Injury Scale is examined.<p />",
