Conclusions: Drug-related bicycle injuries are a significant public health issue. Prevention and control of these injuries is needed, but will likely prove to be difficult because of the variety of circumstances involved but will be aided by the expansion of quality surveillance data and further research examining the circumstances surrounding the injuries.
