Question

consider this claim: contrary to what some may say, bike - sharing programs are safe. which is the strongest evidence to support the claim? one study found that only thirty percent of riders participating in a bike - share program in washington, d.c., wore helmets, as compared with seventy percent of riders who owned their own bikes. a caller to a radio program about bike - sharing programs said, \bike - sharing programs allow people who may not own bicycles a transportation option that lets them get physical exercise while reducing carbon emissions.\ a team of seattle - based researchers found that cities that adopted bike - sharing programs saw cyclist injuries decrease by twenty - eight percent.

Explanation:

The first option only gives helmet - wearing statistics and doesn't directly address safety. The second option focuses on environmental and exercise benefits, not safety. The third option, with a research - based finding that cyclist injuries decreased in cities with bike - sharing programs, directly supports the claim that bike - sharing programs are safe.

Answer:

A team of Seattle - based researchers found that cities that adopted bike - sharing programs saw cyclist injuries decrease by twenty - eight percent.
