Frequently Asked Questions
Where do most car-bicycle collisions happen?
Many occur at intersections, where turning or crossing vehicles fail to see a cyclist in time, and on roads without dedicated bike lanes.
What is "dooring" and why is it dangerous?
Dooring happens when someone in a parked car opens a door into the path of a passing cyclist, often giving the rider no time to swerve or stop.
How can cyclists stay safer in traffic?
Riding predictably, using lights and reflective gear, making eye contact with drivers at intersections, and avoiding blind spots can all help cyclists stay visible to traffic.
What to Do After a Bicycle Crash in Redwood City, CA
Getting checked out by a doctor right away matters, even for cyclists who feel only shaken up. Some injuries, especially to the head or joints, don't show symptoms for hours. It helps to write down what happened while it's fresh, including the direction of travel and any road conditions, and to hold onto the clothing or bike parts involved in case they're needed later. Contacting the CHP to get a copy of the incident report is also worth doing, since it can clarify details that aren't available right after a crash.
