The age group seeing the greatest number of deaths while cycling is men over 40. Traffic restrictions because of COVID-19 did little to stop cycling deaths in Australia, according to a national advocacy groupBicycle Network says the death rate among cyclists on Australian roads has remained constant since 2001, with 42 dying last year. Most fatalities on Aussie roads are now men over 40 (stock picture above)The group didn't give a reason for why men over 40 were the most likely to die on the roads, the sport has become increasingly popular with middle-aged men. The group is calling for urgent improvements to roads, safer speed limits and more detailed data to help lower the toll. "The total number of cases, bike rider proportion of total road fatalities and fatalities per state all remained similar to the 20-year average."
