Active Towns | Dr. Matthew Schaeffer, MD, on crash prevention (getting to the root cause) @ActiveTowns | Uploaded November 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
In this episode, I connect with Dr. Matt Schaeffer, MD, general surgery resident at Wright State University Premiere Health in Dayton, OH, for a discussion about the nuance of bike lane design, encouraging more people to ride for optimal health and crash prevention all from a medical perspective.
To better understand perceptions associated with bike riding in Dayton, Dr. Schaeffer conducted a survey looking at the challenges and barriers to riding as well as what types of bike facilities, like protected bike lanes or separated pathways, would encourage more people to ride more often.

Background:
Hi Everyone! My name is John Simmerman, and I’m a health promotion and public health professional with over 30 years of experience. Over the years, my area of concentration has evolved into a specialization in how the built environment influences human behavior related to active living and especially active mobility.
Since 2010, I've been exploring, documenting, and profiling established, emerging, and aspiring Active Towns wherever they might be while striving to produce high-quality multimedia content to help inspire the creation of more safe and inviting, environments that promote a "Culture of Activity" for "All Ages & Abilities."
The Active Towns Channel features my original video content and reflections, including a selection of podcast episodes and short films profiling the positive and inspiring efforts happening around the world as I am able to experience and document them.
Thanks once again for tuning in! I hope you find this content helpful and insightful.
