There are many causes of accidents. Very often it is due to inattention when there is a crash. We appeal to all road users to follow the rules, not to be distracted and to show consideration for each other - this applies to everyone, whether car drivers, bikers, cyclists or pedestrians.
Of course, it is also important that bicycles are roadworthy. Our advice: ride with a helmet. It can protect you from serious head injuries in the event of a fall and possibly save lives.
In 2023, 663 cyclists were involved in accidents on roads in the district of Recklinghausen and the city of Bottrop, including 273 pedelec riders.
