The Severity of Bicycle Injuries
March 2026
Spring is arriving soon. Bicyles will be back on the streets. When you ride bicycle in traffic, you are travelling beside powerful vehicles with only the protection of a helmet. While cars continue to get safer, bicycle safety remains an important issue. The warmer parts of the year from May through October found the roads more dangerous for those on a bicycle. The different types of injuries analyzed included concussions, fractures and dislocations.
Cars are designed with crashes in mind. Cars have safety feature such as seat belts, air bags and crumples zones. On the other hand, a bike offers none of those protections and a rider is exposed to great danger. This exposure to great dangers increases the magnitude of the injuries caused in bicycle accidents.
