Bicyclists in Florida are a very vulnerable group. Many bicycle crashes happen along busy roadways and at intersections. Bicyclists riding through an intersection or a busy street must be sure to use extra care in order to reduce the risks of a crash. This means observing all traffic laws, including yielding the right of way and stopping at stop signs and stop lights. Given the likelihood that a bicycle crash will involve serious injuries, it is always best to observe safety precautions as much as possible.
