Abstract: Concerns about traffic safety are consistently identified as a barrier to cycling uptake.As such, improving cycling safety is a key priority in cycling planning, research, and advocacy.This chapter reviews the multidisciplinary literature on cycling safety, much of which focuses on traffic safety and considers either 'objective' or 'perceived' safety at the scale of the individual or the neighborhood.A mobility justice approach to cycling safety is then advanced.This approach considers how safety is shaped by intersecting power relations connected with and produced by, among other things: automobility, patriarchy, and racism.Cycling safety as mobility justice meaningfully expands cycling safety discourse to include other forms of danger such as sexual or police harassment.
