Safe Cycling doesn't happen by accident

Safe bicycle riding doesn't hap pen by accident. Part of staying safe on a bicycle is to know when and where you could be in most peril and taking action to prevent an accident from happening.

According to the League of American Bicyclists (LAB), 80 percent of bicycle/car collisions occur at intersections and 90 percent of all bicycle accidents happen in front of the cyclist. So it stands to reason that if a cyclist understands the potential dangers, he should be able to practice sound riding habits and avoidance techniques to protect his well being.
