SAFETY VIDEOS
Check out our safety videos to ensure you understand how bicycles, vehicles, pedestrians and all other users of our transportation network should interact.
REPORT A CRASH
Only 30% of bicycle collision data is collected and there is no centralized reporting system. BikeMaps.org is a unique tool that let's citizens build a database by mapping their riding experience. Use the map and pin tool to add your own data on cycling crashes, near misses, hazards, and even bicycle thefts.
​
Remember, if you are involved in a crash, call 911 even if you don't believe you are hurt. Crashes can be scary, embarrassing, and cause worry about financial implications. Adrenaline makes you think you are not injured when you might be. Obtain driver and witness contract information. Document everything. Police reports help the City address safety issues.
AFFORDABLE HELMET SALES
Surveys show that only 27 percent of adults and 44 percent of children riding bicycles in Missoula wear helmets. Studies have shown that helmets can reduce the risk of head injury by 85 percent. Saint Patrick Hospital offers affordable helmets for children and adults all year round. Call 406-329-2823 for scheduling.
