These risks and dangers may be caused by a cyclists own actions or inactions, the actions or inactions of others around them, or the conditions in which the bicycling activity may take place.

The term ‘bike safety’ is usually associated with helmets & bike paths. Depending only on wearing helmets or riding on bike paths to determine if you are safe reinforces the mistaken notion that that is the most effective way to bicycle safely. Safe bicycling must include bicycling skill-building, training and education, along with helmets & safer bike routes.

For this information to be most effective, it is important for cyclists to gain more information, practice skills regularly and always adhere to the rules of the road for vehicles and the use of key practices. Compiled here is information to assist a cyclist with increasing the potential for safe bicycling.
