Bicycle riders and pedestrians have to share the road with motor vehicles that weigh tons and may be travelling at high speeds. They have little or no protection if a driver fails to notice them on the side of the road or crossing the street. Being hit by a car or truck while you are on foot or on a bike can cause horrific injuries. The human body stands little chance in an accident with a motor vehicle.
Pedestrian Accidents
While pedestrians are often on sidewalks and out of the path of motor vehicles, this is not always the case. Crosswalks, parking lots and other spaces where pedestrians and motor vehicles share space can be very dangerous for pedestrians. Drivers are, to a degree, trained to lookout for things that could harm their vehicles such as other cars or trucks or light poles or trees. Drivers who have hit pedestrians often report simply not having seen them until they hit them.
Bicycle Accidents
Most bike riders understand the threat they face when they ride with traffic because they have had minor accidents or close calls of their own. Drivers do not notice bikes and when they do, they very often underestimate the amount of space a bike rider needs to stay safe. From being doored to having cars take right turns into you and all of the other ways drivers cause accidents and injure bike riders, bike riders face a risk every time they get on the road.
