Bicycle Accidents

Texas is recognized for some of the best and the worst bicycling conditions in the country. Bicycling magazine has recently rated Austin, Texas number 2 on its list of the Top 10 bicycling cities in North America with the same article listing Dallas among the worst cities for cycling. The League of American Bicyclists has ranked Texas 36th among the 50 states for bike friendliness.

Reckless and careless drivers, unsafe road conditions, and unfriendly legislative conditions result in hundreds of unnecessary bicycle accidents and deaths every year. Bicyclists and their families are left to suffer the consequences of broken bones and serious head injuries.

The driver of a car or truck does not have the right of way just because they have a motor vehicle. What they do have is a responsibility to drive with care, to be aware of others with whom they share the road and to take actions to avoid causing bicycle accidents.
