According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 846 bicycle riders were killed in traffic accidents in 2019. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, children (5-14 years) and adolescents (15-19 years) account for more than one-third of all bicycle-related injuries that result in the rider being treated in an emergency room. Most bicycle fatalities occur in urban areas and non-intersection locations. Unlike occupants of cars and trucks, a bicycle provides no protection for the rider. Riders who are struck by cars will usually be crunched by the car or fly off their bicycle. The best way to avoid injuries or deaths is to avoid the accident in the first place. The best way to ensure drivers avoid accidents is to hold them accountable for the injuries and deaths they do cause.
