- Most Americans who are injured in cycling accidents don't wear helmets, and this is especially true of men, children, and black and Hispanic riders, a new study suggests.

Drew University of Medicine and Science and David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. But previous research has offered some clues, she said by email.
