Florida #1 with highest bicyclist death rate in the country
The Sunshine State is a popular place for riding bikes, but it's also the most deadly state in the country for cycling.
The Centers for Disease Control reports that an average of more than 100 bicyclists are killed in Florida every year. Florida is listed as having the highest death rate in cyclists in the country.
The report lists a number of factors that could possibly contribute to cyclist deaths, including the number of people riding bikes, road design and traffic patterns.
The state has been aware of the problem for several years.
