Active mode of transportation is promoted as a part of sustainable development. Bicycling is an active mode of transportation involving major health and environmental benefits. Since our country, India, has a heterogeneous system of traffic, the safety assurance for bicycle riders, especially the school children who prefer bicycles as a mode of conveyance to school, is difficult. In this paper, an analysis of the traffic safety of adolescent bicycle riders on their way to school has been conducted. Questionnaire survey data have been collected from four different states of India, including Kerala, Karnataka, Maharashtra & Delhi. A total of 338 bicycle sample data were collected, and descriptive analysis was conducted. Along with the descriptive analysis, a proportional odds (PO) model was also used after conducting the Principal Component analysis (PCA). Ensuring the safety of young bicycle riders is essential, and the analysis results throw lights on enhancing the traffic safety of bicycle riders. Factors like age, gender, traffic knowledge, accident experience, safety perceptions, etc., are contributing to the risk levels of bicycle riders. Education can play a vital role in assuring the safety of bicycle riders. Based on the analysis results, several traffic-related educational policies and practical programmes can be put forward for ensuring the young bicycle riders get to school and back.
