 The quantitative studies have shown that cyclists around the world have different attitudes and perceptions of safety needs. Therefore, in this study, we want to examine the experiences of injured cyclists about safety needs in a qualitative study.

 The present study was a qualitative study witha  content analysis method. The study population consisted of male or female cyclists over 18 years of age who were injured in a crash or fall while cycling and one or more of their limbs were injured and hospitalized in Poursina Medical Center. Excel details of these clients were obtained from the registration system ofthe  Guilan Road Trauma Research Center. People with various characteristics in terms of age, sex, education, marriage, sex, occupation, length of hospital stay, etc. were included in the study. The number of participants was twenty. Interviews were conducted by medical students with the cooperation and supervision of supervisors.

 Safety factors from the experiences of injured cyclists included nine categories, which were: orderly cycling, holding training courses, supervising cycling, observing the principles of cycling, being equipped with safety equipment, having the right to an exclusive route , Reviewing exclusive routes, creating a sense of security and creating peace in women cyclists.

 Authorities should try to make the factors that were safe in the experiences of these injured as much as possible to give these users a sense of calm and security, thereby encouraging others to ride a bicycle as a clean vehicle for the environment.
