Bicycle Safety: A Shared Responsibility

Collisions between bicycles and vehicles can result in devastating injuries, especially in areas with limited shoulder space or high vehicle speeds. For bicyclists, staying visible is key, this includes wearing reflective clothing, using front and rear lights, and obeying all traffic signals. Cyclists are encouraged to ride in designated bike lanes or on low-traffic roads whenever available.

Drivers also share responsibility for safety on the road. Motorists should always maintain a safe distance when passing cyclists, remain alert, and yield appropriately at intersections and crossings. Greater awareness and mutual respect between drivers and cyclists can significantly reduce the risk of tragic accidents.
