Consequently it should be no surprise that over 145 cyclists are killed on British roads every year, with at least six cyclers a day seriously injured from a road traffic accident.

It is mainly during the rush hour period in the mornings between the time of 8am and 9am when bicycle accidents tend to happen. The most common types of injuries a bike rider may sustain include, leg, arm and more seriously - head injuries. Even with a helmet on, a cyclist may not have total protection head injuries. Over 50% of bicycle accident casualties are admitted to hospital with head injuries.
