At first glance, Southern California would appear to be one of the best places in the country to be a bike rider. After all, the weather is nice year-round, and the state and cities have invested millions of dollars in bike infrastructure, ranging from bike lanes to off-road bike pathways.
But despite the appearance of being a bike-friendly state, riding a bike in California can still be incredibly dangerous. In fact, according to data published by the California Department of Public Health, there were close to 90,000 bicyclist injuries reported over a seven-year period in the state. That accounted for about 5 percent of all traffic-related injuries during that time. The number of fatal injuries was 918 – more than 100 bicyclist deaths per year.
While riding a bike can be a great exercise and a responsible way to get around, there’s no doubt that when a bicyclist mounts their bike, they are taking their life in their hands.
