Bicycle Accident Statistics

Bicycle accidents on public roads can be caused by various factors, many of which are related to the driver. The most common causes are unsafe lane changes, turning without looking for cyclists, driving too close to bike lanes and shoulders, and texting while driving.

Road accidents still result in thousands of injuries and deaths yearly, many of which could have been avoided. According to the Transportation Injury Mapping System data, bicycle accident injuries and fatalities have dropped, with 256 casualties in 2019, a drop of 18% from the previous year.

Whether you ride your bike for exercise, on your daily commute, or as a serious cyclist, you face risks every time you hit the road. Even though cyclists have the same rights and privileges as drivers, it is no secret that many drivers treat cyclists as second-class citizens.

Drivers routinely put cyclists in dangerous situations, from riding on cyclists’ back wheels to passing with almost no room to spare. Drivers who aren’t paying attention can cause accidents before they even realize cyclists are on the road.
