38Cyclists' accidents account for a relatively large proportion of road fatalities and this 39 proportion is increasing. Moreover, research suggests that crashes can be predicted by near 40 misses, based on the assumption that they share common causes. Also in the cycling domain it 41 has been suggested that near miss incidents may provide 'early warnings' of situations or 42 behaviours that could lead to crashes. The aim of this study was to investigate the role played 43 by perception of risk and control on the exposure to risky situations, such as the involvement 44 in mixed traffic. We administered a questionnaire to 298 Italian cyclists measuring perceived 45 competence (i.e. perceived control and overconfidence), risk perception of interactions with 46 cars, bicycle use, avoidance of mixed traffic and recent experiences of near misses.
