From Morning Report, 8:48 am on 3 May 2019

A new study suggests more cyclists are getting injured both on and off our roads every year. The research paper, published Friday in the New Zealand Medical Journal used hospital admissions data from four District Health Boards in the middle North Island. It showed over four years there had been almost 1000 cycling related hospital admissions. As reporter Charlie Dreaver explains it's causing health professionals to question whether enough is being done to keep riders safe.
