Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents
Bicycle accidents mostly happen due to preventable reasons. Here are some common causes:
- Drivers texting, eating, or otherwise not paying attention.
- Speeding, which reduces reaction time and increases the chances and severity of bicycle accidents.
- Drivers failing to yield the right of way to cyclists at intersections or crosswalks can also cause accidents.
- Dooring, which is when a parked car’s door opens into the path of a cyclist.
- Poor road conditions such as potholes, debris, and uneven surfaces.
- Weather conditions like rain, fog, and poor visibility.
- Inexperienced drivers who may not know how to properly share the road with cyclists.
- Intoxicated drivers often have poor judgment, which can lead to accidents.
- Mechanical failures like brake issues or tire blowouts on the bicycle itself.
