Bicycle Safety
Thousands of Americans ride bicycles as a means of transportation, exercise, and even relaxation. Unfortunately, cycling can be a dangerous hobby. Negligence on the part of the cyclist or the driver of a nearby motor vehicle can result in serious and devastating injury.
Even if you are a responsible cyclist, you will always be at risk for injury. An irresponsible driver, a negligent bike manufacturer, or an inexperienced repairman may cause you serious harm. If you or your loved one has been injured in a bicycle accident, it is important to hold the negligent party responsible for their actions.

Bicycle Safety Tips
Luckily, many cities have bike lanes to make commutes safer in an effort to become more bicycle friendly. However, despite these efforts to increase bicycle safety, cyclists are still in harm’s way. Therefore, a person should take every safety measure possible. Safety precautions such as the following may severely reduce the risk of injury:
- Always wear a helmet
- Ensure that your helmet is secured correctly
- Perform regular maintenance on your bike
- If possible, ride in bicycle lanes
- Stay on bike paths
- Ride at reasonable speeds
- Avoid bicycle “road” rage
- Follow all rules of the road
- Wear bright clothing and use reflectors
The most important safety measure you can take to prevent injury is to assume that vehicle drivers cannot see you at any given time, and act accordingly.
