According to Cycling UK:
- Cycling to work can mean you have a 45% lower risk of developing cancer, and a 46% lower risk of cardiovascular disease.
- If you cycle regularly in adulthood, you will enjoy a level of fitness equivalent to someone 10 years younger.
- If all cycle journeys increased from the current level of 2% to 25% by 2050, the collective benefit would be £248bn.
Along with pedestrians and motorcyclists, cyclists are known as vulnerable road users. Unfortunately, cycling accident claims are fairly common, particularly incidents on busy city centre roads.
Sometimes cyclists suffer accidents because of other road user’s negligence. Every year over 3,000 cyclists are killed or seriously injured in the UK and more than 100 cycling accidents are fatal.

Cycling is an increasingly popular activity. The desire to get fit and the environmental benefits of switching from car to bike have contributed to the increase in the number of bikes on the road. As a result, there has been an increase in the number of cycling accidents.
While some accidents are simple mistakes or blameless incidents, sometimes an accident happens due to more intentionally negligent behaviour. If your accident and therefore your injuries were caused by someone else’s unfair, improper or negligent behaviour then you should be able to make a compensation claim. If no one else appears to be at fault or if you are at fault for your own injury, then it is unlikely that you will be able to claim compensation.
