Colorado Bicycle Accidents
Each year, Colorado experiences roughly 1,000 injuries resulting from bicycle accidents, with numerous fatalities adding to the heartbreaking statistics. Because cyclists lack the protection that vehicles provide, injuries sustained in bike crashes tend to be more severe compared to other types of traffic accidents. As some of the most vulnerable road users, cyclists depend on drivers exercising extra caution and awareness, especially when sharing busy streets.
Drivers must make eye contact with cyclists, particularly at intersections or when paths cross. Neglecting this simple step can lead to serious collisions, often causing life-altering injuries or even fatalities. In 2022 alone, more than 100 cyclists lost their lives in crashes across Colorado, underscoring the everyday dangers they face.
