How common are bicycle accidents? This is a very good question because many people have the impression that bicycle accidents are not common but it all depends on the context. Bicycle accidents are more common than many people realize because these accidents don’t get as much publicity as, say, automobile accidents. Below are common instance of bicycle accidents and the causes of these accidents.

Bicycle Accidents on Cycling Routes

In some parts of the world, bicycle riders have dedicated routes for cycling and this is where all the cyclists converge. Naturally, you get to meet all sorts of people here. Some are beginners trying to get to get the hang of bicycle navigation. Others are experts who are not shy to show off their cycling skills. Will all these people jostling for space on these routes, accidents are bound to to happen and they do. The good thing (if you can call it a good thing) is that bicycle accidents between two bicycle riders are not usually as serious as a bicycle accident with cars or motorcycles.

Bicycle Accidents on the Road

Sometimes, accidents can happen even if you are the most careful bicycle rider on planet earth. You are cycling quietly on your own lane and you are observing all the relevant traffic rules because you don’t want trouble. Another cyclist or a car for that matter cuts into your lane and hits you. Now, if the other party is at fault, you have no option but to insist on your rights. You can get the offender arrested or even prosecuted because this will teach such people a lesson on road usage in future.

Bicycle Accidents Due to Mechanical Faults

A bicycle is a machine even though it has a rather rudimentary engine. It follows that like all engines, your bicycle can develop mechanical or electrical faults. Just thing about this scenario. You are riding your bicycle and suddenly the brake fails at the worst possible moment. At this point your best bet is to go for damage control. Avoid a head-on collision as best you can and try to stop your bike without hitting anybody. If the rear brakes failed but the front brakes are still working, you can simply use the front brakes to bring the bicycle to a halt. Not that if an accident happens in this situation, you are at fault and you have to face the music.

Bicycle accidents With Motorcycles

If a motorcycle hits you when you are riding your bicycle on the bicycle lane, you have every reason to be outraged. Now, you cannot get angry and leave it at that. You have the right to take action and you should take action. Some motorcycle riders have little respect for bicycle riders and this is why some of them encroach into the bicycle rider’s lane. If a motorcyclist in this category hits you, you can go all the way to court to get compensation and teach the offender a lesson on safe riding on the freeway.

Final Word

Bicycle accidents are more common than most people realize. Do what you can to avoid these accidents and you will stay safe and accident-free.
