Florida is home to many bicyclists. With a warm-weather climate, bicycle riders can be seen out at all times of the year in our state. Riding a bike, however, brings certain dangers into play, including the risk of being involved in a crash with a vehicle. About 100 bicyclists lose their lives every year in bicycle crashes that take place throughout Florida. Drivers are often at fault for failing to follow basic traffic laws and causing a catastrophic crash to occur.
