Child bicycle accidents can happen anywhere, including parks, familiar streets and right in front of your home. While bicycle rider and motor vehicle operator errors cause some bike accidents, other bicycle collisions are a result of pre-existing road hazards.
Many road hazards are the responsibility of the local, county or state government or agency to fix. Listed below are some road hazards that create unsafe riding conditions for children on bicycles:
- Potholes
- Sewer grates that can trap thin bicycle tires
- Loose railroad ties or tracks in the same direction as traffic
