The most dangerous U.S. cities for motorcyclists

Between 2011-2021, 15 U.S. cities saw motorcycle deaths increase by 200% or more, with two seeing triple-digit increases during the period, Forbes Advisor reported. There were 55,166 motorcycle fatalities in the U.S. during the period, according to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The slideshow above reviews the most dangerous cities for motorcyclists, according to a review of NHTSA data from the 100 largest U.S. cities by Forbes Advisor. Although motorcycling riding is often considered a sunny weather activity, a number of cities on the list are in colder climates. For example, Detroit ranks high on the list, while two Ohio cities — one of which saw a 1,200% increase — are also featured. San Jose, California, was another location that saw a 1,000% increase, according to Forbes Advisor. When it comes to motorcycle safety, Nevada has some of the strictest laws, including requiring helmets for all riders and mandating eye protection for bikes without windshields. Cities in the state also see some of the fewest motorcycle deaths in the country, according to Forbes Advisor. Henderson, Nevada, had zero deaths per 100,000 residents in 2021, while North Las Vegas' per capita fatality rate was 0.38 during that year. Related:
