Causes of Bicycle Accidents
Bicycle accidents are often the result of the other driver’s negligence.
Some of the most commonly cited causes include:
- Cutting off a bicyclist at an intersection
- Failure to yield
- Following too closely
- Swerving in front of a bicyclist
- Speeding
- Distraction
- Driving under the influence
Too many drivers do not pay proper attention and fail to look out for bicyclists. Injuries that result from bicycle accidents are often severe. A bicyclist simply has less protection than someone in a motor vehicle, even if the bicyclist is wearing a helmet.
Additionally, the impact of a motor vehicle on a bicycle tends to result in the bicyclist being ejected, causing serious injuries. Injuries one can receive from a bicycle accident include cuts and abrasions, sprains and fractures, broken bones, brain trauma, spinal cord injuries, burns, and more.

To avoid collisions, make the following safe choices:

- Keep both hands on your handlebars to remain in control of your bicycle, except while signaling
- Keep both feet on your pedals if you need to make sudden stops
- If you’re in a group, ride with the flow of traffic in a single-file line
- Wear bright colors and retro-reflective material to be seen by other drivers at night
- Use the correct hand signals so other drivers and riders can see where you’re turning
- Stop and look before you enter a roadway
