Cycling is a healthy form of exercise. It helps boost brainpower, improves heart function, helps prevent cancer, increases longevity and helps burn fats.

Cycling is also beneficial to people who often suffer from knee pain or from osteoarthritis. It also helps you get more sleep, aside from beating illness and helping you look younger.

But riding your bicycle is too risky. For one, it’s a small vehicle that can easily be toppled over even by a slightest swipe or slide. Even a small stone you hit the road with your bike can affect your balance, making you prone to injuries. It’s good if you just ride your bike for fun and you follow the safest route. But when your biking routine involves being in a race with big vehicles on a busy highway, then brace yourself for possible accidents in the future. This is not to threaten you but let’s face it, cyclists are really prone to accidents. And the injuries can be fatal.

Based on the Traffic Safety Facts of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 818 bicycle riders and 5,376 pedestrians were killed in crashes with motor vehicles in 2015, which accounted for 17.7 percent of the 35,092 total deaths in the United States.

Since 2006, an increase of 6 percent in bicycle deaths was noted by the NHTSA, which went up to 12.2 percent in 2014, while bicycle injuries were recorded at 50,000 in 2014 and 45,000 in 2015.

According to the National Safety Council, the total cost of bicycle injury and death is over $4 billion per year.
