However, bicycle rerated traffic accidents occur at a high level and have a potential for increase. The road traffic system and traffic regulations for bicycle are not defined well. Bicycle rerated traffic accidents should be studied to reduce accidents in considering a lot of devises adopted and studied for car to car accidents. This paper describes research on bicycle rerated traffic accidents. High accident patterns were analyzed and specified.
