Is San Diego a Safe Place to Ride Bicycles?

The sunny, warm weather of San Diego County invites a very active bicycling community, especially along the beach, where every weekend along the coast in Ocean Beach, Pacific Beach, Oceanside, Carlsbad, and Encinitas you will see hundred of riders, from competitive looking road bike racers to novices filling local bike lanes. And while many of our San Diego roadways have designated bike lanes for riders, the dangers for cyclists is ever present.

While most bicycle accidents are solo accidents, the greatest fear of most riders is getting struck by an automobile. Though fairly uncommon, here in San Diego there are several cycling injuries and fatalities every year because of the sheer number of riders, and invariably a portion of those bicycle injury accidents involve automobiles. Indeed, United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that each year more than 500,000 people are treated in emergency departments for bicycle-related injuries each year. More than 700 people die from these injuries.
