18 May 2021 | Laura Swaine

Every year the UK government produces statistics detailing accidents involving cyclists. These statistics show that between 2004 and 2020 serious injuries from cycling accidents grew by 26%. Fatalities increased by 5% to 141 per year in 2020. During the period from 2015 to 2020, this averages out at 83 seriously injured cyclists and 2 fatalities every week. The most common reported cause of these accidents was due to a vehicle driver who ‘failed to look properly’. These figures don’t take into account the number of people who have been injured but do not report the accident to the police.
