Nationwide, 65.1% of students had ridden a bicycle during the 12 months preceding the survey. Of these students, 84.7% rarely or never wore a bicycle helmet. Overall, black students (90.7%) were significantly more likely than white students (83.6%) to have rarely or never worn a bicycle helmet. This significant racial/ethnic difference was identified for female students. Prevalence of rarely or never wearing a bicycle helmet ranged from 54.8% to 95.8% (median: 88.6%) across state surveys and from 70.1% to 94.4% (median: 87.9%) across local surveys.
