How Vehicle Collisions Can Seriously Harm Bicyclists
Bicycles do not provide an enclosed frame, airbags, or seat belts. Riders may absorb direct force from a vehicle before falling onto the pavement or another hard surface.
The seriousness of harm can depend on vehicle speed, contact angle, and the point where the rider is struck. Head, shoulder, arm, hip, and leg injuries are common concerns after a wreck involving a cyclist.
Road width, lighting, curves, and nearby intersections can affect how easily drivers notice bicycles. Medical evaluations may also be needed because concussions, internal trauma, and some fractures are not always immediately apparent after a strong hit.
