Bicycle Injuries

Bicycle riding remains a favorite pastime for all ages. It’s great for getting or staying active. It’s a low-impact activity that builds muscle and cardiovascular health. It improves mood and reduces anxiety.  Meanwhile, a lot of bicycle accidents in Tennessee have been reported for the past years.

Bicycling boomed during the pandemic of 2020. People for Bikes found bicycling was the most popular form of recreation last May, with 10% of adults reporting they had gone for a ride for the first time in years.

Bicycling is also becoming a major mode of transportation for people. Cities across the country have worked to make their streets safe and accommodating for bikers going to work, shopping, or enjoying a recreational ride. 

While laws exist to ensure motorists share the road with bicycle riders, many cyclists worry about their safety during their ride. Tennessee reported 317 reported bicycle accidents that resulted in personal injury, and 12 people died in bicycle accidents in Tennessee.
