Bicycle Accident Statistics

Short-distance bicycling is becoming more and more popular. This is largely due to the fact that bicycling is an inexpensive and environmentally friendly mode of transportation. Bicycle-related accidents have been on the rise over the past few years.

In the United States, 8,908 cyclists were killed between 2007 and 2018. The average was calculated by multiplying this number by 12. As many as 857 cyclists were killed in 2018, which was a record for the number of deaths on bicycles.

The number of bicycle-related accidents has steadily risen in California in the last few years. Bicycle accidents claimed the lives of 155 people last year.

According to the California Department of Motor Vehicles, cyclist deaths account for 4% of all Californian car accidents. California is the most dangerous state for cyclists, with a death rate more than twice as high as the national average.

Many factors can lead to a bicycle accident. Distracted driving, failure to yield the right-of-way, failure to look before pulling out, running a red light, and other traffic violations are among the most common causes of traffic fatalities in the United States.
