Cyclists Accidents
 Cyclist injuries resulting from traffic accidents are some of the most serious.
Cycling has been becoming more and more popular in the Lehigh Valley and Eastern Pennsylvania. Cycling gets more people out of their cars (less traffic) and using alternative methods of transportation. This reduces traffic as well as the reliance on fossil-fuels, which directly improves the environment and our quality of air. The increase in bike lanes in Lehigh Valley as well as a 12% increase in bicycle sales over the last five years, means there are more cyclists on our roadways. The unfortunate factor of this increase, is that we are seeing more cyclist involved accidents and even deaths.

Cars pose the biggest threat to cyclists, without question!The numbers are very clear, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, over 3,000 cyclists were killed in auto-involved accidents between 2008 and 2012. Cyclists being impacted by the front end of an automobile, were responsible for 73% of those deaths. Without question, a cyclists is much more likely to be injured or killed by a car than anything else on the road. More often than not, stated "non visibility" is the claim by the car driver as the cause for the accident.
