There can be very little debate that bicycling is an all around fabulous way to travel through the beautiful City of Chicago while helping to cut down on the pollution in the area.

The Dangers of Bicycling

Despite the many benefits of bicycling, committing yourself to motor-less, two-wheeled transportation certainly has its downside. The main problem with traveling by bike is that you are placed in a greater degree of danger when traveling around other vehicles, such as cars and semi-trucks. While motorists have the protection of steel cages around them in the event of a wreck, bicyclists having nothing but their body.

Because of this, injuries sustained in a bicycle accident can be extremely severe, and may include:

• Head and brain injuries;
• Broken bones;
• Puncture wounds;
• Neck and spine injuries;
• Muscle sprains and strains;
• Lacerations and road rosh.

Of course, some catastrophic accidents may even lead to death, especially if the bicyclist chose to not wear a helmet while riding.
