^*Statistically significant comparisons are shown in bold.

^†All cycle tracks are two-way on one side of the street.

^‡An on-street bike route on a parallel street in close proximity of the cycle track.

^§Injuries recorded by emergency medical response (EMR) services between 1 April 1999 and 31 July 2008 for the season 1 April to 15 November.

^¶95%CI calculated using the variance of log(RR) based on a Poisson distribution.

^**For comparisons having two reference streets, the total number of bicyclists is used from both streets.
