What Should Cyclists Know About Bicycle Accidents?
Bicycle accidents can cause serious injuries because cyclists have little protection from surrounding vehicles. Helmets can reduce the risk of certain head injuries, but they cannot prevent every type of harm.
Drivers and cyclists both have responsibilities when sharing roads. Motorists should give bicyclists adequate space when passing and check carefully before turning or changing lanes. Cyclists should follow traffic signals, ride in the proper direction, and use lights or reflective gear
