It is a fact that more and more cyclists are taking to the road. Cycling is a fun way of beating the queues and getting some exercise, and of course it is much better for the environment than jumping behind the wheel.
However, there is a drawback – cyclists are far more vulnerable than the average road user. Bicycles offer almost no protection to their riders so a relatively minor accident can have very serious consequences. Moreover, cycling incidents are often not the fault of the riders because many motorists fail to give adequate room on the road, or else they block cycle lanes when parking or fail to check their mirrors when turning left.
Perhaps this goes some way to explaining why more than 16,000 cycling injuries are reported in the UK every year, according to the government bike accident statistics. These bike injuries may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Joint or soft tissue injuries
- Blackouts
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
- Bone fractures
- Paralysis
