Finger injuries involving stationary exercise bicycles.
Injuries to children related to exercise bicycles can result in significant morbidity, but are almost entirely preventable. To forestall these injuries, manufacturers should continue to focus their attention on improved design and developing safer equipment. In addition, pediatricians and other primary care providers need to play a role in educating parents and the community about the possible hazards that exercise bicycles present to young children.
