Many people in the UK are cycling and the numbers continue to grow. Millions of people are able to cycle safely every day whether it be for transport, fitness and enjoyment. Riding a bicycle has so many positive advantages, however cyclist are also the most vulnerable people on the roads today. Sadly every year many of them suffer an injury or sometimes tragically end up losing their lives due to a serious collision.
There are many reasons why cyclists can be vulnerable when traveling on the roads and these include factors such as:
- Cyclists can be difficult to spot by other vehicles such as large vehicles like buses and lorries, especially at junctions
- Being exposed as cyclists have less protection and this can lead to a significant impact, which may result in much severe injuries.
- They are not able to manoeuvre as quickly as other vehicles on the road.
- Cyclists are also at risk from being hit by a parked vehicle, where the driver may suddenly open their door or even when they are about to move away from a parked position, fail to check their ‘blind spot’ resulting in the vehicle colliding with the cyclist.
