Bicycle riders are highly vulnerable when involved in a collision with a car or truck. Even when wearing a helmet, cyclists are essentially unprotected in the event of a crash. As a result, bicyclists frequently suffer catastrophic injuries, such as head injuries, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and multiple fractures. Many become disabled as a result of a serious bicycle accident.
