BICYCLE ACCIDENTS

Bicycle accident injuries are unfortunately all to common. Each year more than 500,000 people are treated in hospital emergency rooms and more than 700 people die as a result of bicycle related injuries. Of these a majority are males. 59% of all victims are children age 15 or younger. The 700 plus who die each year represent 2% of all motor vehicle accident fatalities. Most of them die from head injuries.

Ideally those who ride never get hurt in an automobile vs. bicycle accident.

Unfortunately, the odds are that if you ride long enough, a bicyclist will eventually get hit by a automobile. We have compiled a safety article which helps to identify types of accidents that bicycle riders (road) often are involved in. Hopefully, you can read this article this BEFORE you or your loved one is injured in a bicycle accident in an attempt to avoid injury.
