7 Years ago I got crashed into a car while riding my bicycle and had to go to the hospital. Luckily there were no broken bones or internal damage. I was pretty bruised up but luckily have healed up since. From that accident I learned a lot of safety tips which I believe everyone should be aware of including both bicyclists and drivers. Biking on the road can be very dangerous so make sure to always wear a helmet and follow my safety recommendations shown in the video!

7 years ago I was biking to the gym and I got into an accident while a car was turning left… :(

I got taken to the hospital but luckily there were no broken bones or internal damage and I healed up since :)

How it happened

Factors underlying the Accident

  • Curved intersection
  • Driver assumed no one was biking because didn’t initially see me at first due to the curved intersection and didn’t bother slowing down before turning
  • Night time and raining played a role
  • Didn’t have a light on my bike.

Important Safety Tips when Biking

  • Always wear a helmet
  • When it is dark outside, a front and back light is extremely important!
  • Slow down when approaching a curved intersection and pay extra attention to your surroundings.
    • Cars already have a difficult time seeing bikes and curved intersection gives the illusion that there is no one on the other side.

Important Tips when Driving

  • Always look for oncoming traffic especially during night time.
    • Never assume that there is no one around
  • Like with bikes, beware of curved intersections and be extra cautious.
  • Slow down whenever making any turn.
