How bicyclists can reduce risk of accident

The more common threats are often found where you might least expect them: on car-free paths filled with distracted pedestrians, dog walkers, in-line skaters and cyclists with varying skill levels.
Still when bike riders do collide with a car, it's often serious. Common sense is your best defense when riding the roads.

Don't ride drunk, One-third of all cycling fatalities involved a legally intoxicated cyclist
Ride with traffic-never against it-as close as possible to the right
Don't ride with headphones. Hearing the "click" of a car door could save you

Don't hit the road without a helmet. Some suggust that helmeted riders take more risks. But head injuries are responsible for about three-quarters of deaths among bicyclists involved in crashes.
