    6 Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents

    While riding a bicycle, most people feel like the safety rules don’t apply to them as it is not an auto vehicle, and they lower their guard. However, when you’re on the road, whether it’s a car, public transport, or a bicycle, there are certain rules and laws that must be acknowledged and followed. Not following the rules can have serious consequences.

    6 Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents

    The most common injuries in a bicycle accident are the result of the negligence of other drivers, which you can punish by filing a personal injury claim. In addition, you can also get compensation for your injuries if your accident was caused by someone else’s negligence.

    When you’re on the road, especially a highway, you must be fully focused on riding and what’s ahead without any distractions. Here are a few common points that lead to terrible accidents:

    Visibility 

    While on the road or on a bicycle or motorcycle, it might not be visible to car drivers, especially buses or trucks. Ensure that you’re visible by wearing clothes with a certain dark color. Also, when riding at night, ensure that your backlight is on so that others can see properly. The best way to avoid visibility issues is to wear a reflective vest visible from quite a distance, day and night.

    Not Checking the Bicycle 

    Most people ride a bicycle as a part of their daily routine, either for traveling to work or for exercise. Performing a certain task makes a person confident, and they don’t feel it’s mandatory to check the bicycle daily. However, you can never tell what might happen next and should always take safety measures. Before riding, check the tires’ air pressure, brakes, and chains.

    Being Distracted

    Distraction is not only a prime reason for bicycle accidents, but it is also a major culprit in car and truck accidents. Most people ride a bicycle while listening to music or making a phone call on earphones. While riding, you should know your surroundings and hear everything. What’s even more dangerous is texting while riding with one hand. The eyes should always be on the road to avoid any major accidents.

    Speeding

    While one might think riding a bicycle at high speed is not as dangerous as driving an automobile, this conception is wrong. Riding your bicycle at high speed will also reduce your reaction time if an obstacle suddenly appears. Moreover, bicycles don’t have an ABS brake system like most cars; therefore, you must avoid speeding, especially on urban roads where the traffic is already congested.

    Switching Lanes Carelessly

    There is a proper separate lane, especially for the bike riders on the road. While switching a lane, there should be a proper signal for those who are behind through an indicator. It would be best if you switched lanes only after taking a good look at the surroundings. However, most riders don’t care about making a signal, as they consider the person behind them responsible for it, and they end up getting hit from behind.

    These are the common reasons for road bicycle accidents in the United States. The drivers should cooperate and strictly follow the traffic rules to ensure their safety and others.
