Cycles are the main road users at risk from accidents due to their small footprint unlike cars and lorries have large footprints and motor cyclist have more of a noise presence.

Accidents involving cyclist have a higher likelihood of head injuries which can be life Threatening/changing. A broken leg or arm will normally heal without any problems but a head injury can last for life and put strain on family member and the health service. I have been knocked off my bike and so has my wife we both were lucky and only suffer minor cuts and bruises some people aren't so lucky.
