What Are the Risks for Bicyclists in Crashes?
Bicyclists have limited physical protection when they collide with motor vehicles. Even when a bicycle rider is wearing a helmet, the force of a crash can cause serious injuries.
Intersections can present additional risks because vehicles and bicycles may cross the same space from different directions. Drivers should watch carefully for cyclists, while bicyclists should remain alert and follow traffic controls when crossing roadways.
