What Can Affect Injury Risk in Bicycle and Car Crashes?
Bicycle and car crashes can lead to serious harm because riders have little protection during impact. Even at lower speeds, a rider may be thrown from the bike or hit the ground with force. Helmets, lighting, and clear lane position can affect how visible a rider is before a crash.
Intersection crashes often involve crossing paths, turns, or drivers and riders entering the same space. Traffic signals, stop signs, sight lines, and vehicle speed can all affect how much time people have to react.
Medical checks after a bicycle crash can help identify injuries that are not clear right away. Pain, dizziness, or swelling may appear after the initial shock fades.
