Trends and patterns of work-related cyclist fatalities in Brazil, 2014-2022.

ABSTRACT: Bicycles are common mode of transport in countries with well-developed road infrastructure and traffic law enforcement. In Brazil, their use for economic activities, particularly on app-based deliveries, has surged. However, work-related cyclist fatalities (WRCFs) remain an understudied public health concern.
