Frequently Asked Questions
What is "dooring" and why is it dangerous?
Dooring happens when someone in a parked car opens a door into the path of an oncoming cyclist, giving the rider little time to react. It can cause a cyclist to crash into the door or swerve into traffic, and it's one of the more common causes of bike injuries in urban areas.
How can cyclists stay safer in traffic?
Riding predictably, using lights after dark, wearing reflective clothing, and staying out of a driver's blind spots all help. Choosing routes with bike lanes or lower traffic volume also reduces exposure to vehicles.
Do cyclists have the same road rights as drivers?
In Virginia, as in most states, cyclists generally have the same rights and responsibilities as drivers, including the right to use travel lanes and the duty to obey traffic signals.
What to Do After a Bicycle Crash in Richmond, VA
Anyone involved in a bicycle crash should prioritize a medical check, even when pain or injury isn't immediately apparent. Adrenaline can mask the signs of a concussion, fracture, or internal injury for hours. It's also worth asking for a copy of the police report once it's filed, noting the names of any witnesses, and photographing the scene and any visible injuries if it's safe to do so. Keeping track of medical visits and related expenses in the days that follow can matter later, whether for insurance purposes or simply to document recovery.
