abstract="A more detailed analysis of 60 consecutive cases of bicycle spoke injuries treated at the casualty ward of the Odense University hospital showed that a drop in numbers has occurred from 80 to approx. 60 a year from 1960 to the 1970's, corresponding to a drop from approx. 1780 to approx. 1100 on a national basis. At the same time the frequency of fractures has dropped from 25,2% to 6,7%. In only 2 cases was the bicycle equipped with both seat and dress-guard, and one seat was defective. The accidents caused approximately half the parents to procure relevant safety equipment. There is a need for a safe children's seat with built-in protection for the feet to be manufactured, and information is required on the risk of bicycle spoke injuries to children transported as passengers on bicycles.<p />",
