Bicycle safety

Bicycle safety is the use of road traffic safety practices to reduce risk associated with cycling. Risk can be defined as the number of incidents occurring for a given amount of cycling. Some of this subject matter is hotly debated: for example, which types of cycling environment or cycling infrastructure is safest for cyclists.

The merits of obeying the traffic laws and using bicycle lighting at night are less controversial.
Wearing a bicycle helmet may reduce the chance of head injury in the event of a crash.
