    History of Route 66 (The Will Rogers Memorial Highway)

    History of Route 66 History of Route 66 (the Will Rogers Memorial Highway) US Route 66 is also known as: • the Will Rogers Highway • the Main Street of America • the Mother Road It was established on November 11, 1926 as one of the original highways in the US Highway System, and became one of the most famous roads in the United States. Road signs were erected in 1927. It originally ran from Chicago, Illinois, through the states of Missouri, Kansas, New Mexico and Arizona before ending in Santa Monica, California, near Los Angeles, covering 2,448 miles or 3,940 kilometres. It was recognised in popular culture by the hit song ‘(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66’ in the 1960s. It features in John Steinbeck's classic American novel, The Grapes of Wrath (1939). Route 66 was a primary route for those who migrated west, especially during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. The road supported the economies of the communities through which it passed. People doing business along the route became prosperous as the highway became more popular. The same people later fought to keep the highway alive in the face of the growing threat of being bypassed by the new Interstate Highway System. Route 66 underwent many improvements and realignments over its lifetime, but was officially removed from the United States Highway System on 26 June 1985. It had been entirely replaced by segments of the Interstate Highway System. Portions of the road that passed through Illinois, Missouri, New Mexico, and Arizona have been named ‘Historic Route 66’.

    Injuries Involving Off-Road Cycling

    o RIGINAL RESEARCH_______________________________ Injuries Involving Off-road Cycling Frederick P. Rivara, MD, MPH; Diane C. Thompson, MS; Robert S. Thompson, MD; and Viviana Rebolledo Seattle, Washington BACKGROUND. Data on injuries due to off-road bicycling are scarce, but do indicate that injuries in this sport are frequent. We examined the pattern of injuries to off-road riders as part of a larger study of bicycle injuries and helmet use. METHODS. We undertook a prospective study of bicycle-related injuries identified at seven emergency depart­ ments in Seattle, Washington, between March 1992 and August 1994. Hospitalized patients and medical examin­ ers’ cases were included. Detailed questionnaires and abstraction of all medical records provided information on crash and rider characteristics and injury type and severity. RESULTS. A total of 3390 injured riders participated, representing an 88% response rate. Of all injured cyclists, 127 (3.7%) were injured riding “off road.” Seventy-three percent of off-road cyclists were 20 to 39 years of age, and 86.6% were male. Helmet use was 80.3% for off-road cyclists as compared with 49.5% for other cyclists. The number of head and face injuries for the off-road cyclists was only 40% of the number incurred by other cyclists. Four percent of off-road cyclists had severe injuries (Injury Severity Score >8), and 6.3% were hospital­ ized, compared with 6.8% and 9.4%, respectively, of other cyclists. CONCLUSIONS. The majority of off-road bicycling injuries are minor. Off-road cyclists are less likely to have head and face injuries than other cyclists and are more likely to wear helmets.
