Each year, over 800 cyclists are killed in crashes with motor vehicles in the United States. Per capita, Florida is the most dangerous state as a whole, with the National Highway and Transport Safety Administration (NHTSA) reporting 6.7 cyclist traffic deaths per million residents.

That number is more than 10 times greater than the number of cyclist traffic deaths in West Virginia, Nebraska, and Alabama. California had the highest total number of cyclist fatalities at 147 in a single year.
