Bike Safety
Bicycle safety can be a little bit complicated. Normally, bicycles are supposed to follow the same rules of the road that motor vehicles follow. But there are exceptions. In Arizona, for example, a bicycle in a cross walk is covered by the same rules as pedestrians, whether you’re riding your bike or walking your bike.
Some places, it’s appropriate to ride on the sidewalk, some places it’s not – and that depends on different cities and towns have different rules for it. It’s important to wear a helmet, but sometimes we process claims and gotten good recoveries for people even if they didn’t have their helmet on. So, be safe, but if you’ve been hurt, or someone you love has been hurt on a bicycle, visit our website or call us at 602-266-2002.
