Unfortunately, riding a bicycle in California can be dangerous. The Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute<\/a> reports that there were 818 bicycle fatalities in 2015. In addition to those fatalities, over 45,000 others sustained bike accident injuries. According to the report, over 70 percent of these bike accidents occurred in urban areas. Urban bicycle accidents have been on the rise partly due to the increased use of bicycles as main modes of transportation in densely populated areas. The increase in bicycle use can be partly attributed to how easy it is to rent one of the dockless bicycles that have started popping up all over California’s metro areas. Many cities have even constructed dedicated bike lanes and bridges in order to promote commuting to work by bike. Unfortunately, bicycle accidents occur more often than you might like to think and matters only get more complicated if the bicycle is rented. Our Murrieta bicycle accident lawyer believes that bicycling is the most rewarding way to experience California and that you have the right to do so safely.<\/p>\n
