Iowa bike fatalities ease but trend shows more young riders
Four of this year’s five bicyclist deaths in Iowa involved children under 14, with four of five deaths tied to motor vehicles. The Iowa Bicycle Coalition notes year-to-date fatalities near 2016 levels, while DOT counts four bike deaths this year, down from seven last year. Officials cite distracted driving and passing lane changes as focal points for safety and potential legislation next year.
