Bicycle Accidents

With the beautiful weather this city has week in and week out, San Diego welcomes outdoor activities which can celebrate its beauty. One of these activities is bicycle riding. Now while accidents may not be the first thing you associate with this leisurely activity, that doesn’t mean they don’t happen. In fact, bicycle accidents happen much more often and require more attention than a simple band aid. Last year, over 515,000 Americans suffered bicycle related injuries and needed emergency medical attention.
