Pedestrians and bicyclists are in a very vulnerable position. Their safety depends on the safety of others. Bicyclists and pedestrians must rely on operators of cars, trucks and other motor vehicles to obey traffic laws.

When a car strikes a bicyclist or a pedestrian, the results can be catastrophic. This can lead to brain injury and other serious conditions. Whatever the cause of the incident, injuries from bike accidents can have a slow recovery, cause lost time from work and outrageous medical bills.

The National Center for Statistical Analysis reported that in 2006, 773 cyclists were killed and over 44,000 were injured in traffic crashes. This accounted for 2 percent of all traffic fatalities in 2006. Fourteen percent of those fatalities were children under the age of 16.
