Motorcyclists, moped and bicyclists can suffer from spoke injuries when riding their vehicles. One study looked at 103 moped and bicycle spoke injuries in children who were between the ages of 1 and 14 years of age. Most of the time, one heel was affected but in 22 cases, both feet were affected, particularly in the heel. In 17 cases, there was some type of leg fracture on the side of the injury.

In another study, leg bone fractures were particularly noted in spoke injuries. They looked at 211 fractures of kids with leg fractures between the age of 1 and 14 years and discovered that 10 percent of all fractures to the leg were due to spoke injuries while riding bicycle. In children aged 1-4, bicycle spoke fractures were found to account for a third of all fractures of the lower leg.
