Bicycles are being used more and more for transportation purposes, especially in bigger cities like Paterson, Passaic, Union City, Jersey City, Hackensack and others. With gas prices soaring and people looking for ways to contribute to a cleaner environment, it's a choice that Americans are making. Opting to ride a bicycle can come with some risks though, especially for commuting purposes along busy city streets filled with motorists.

A bicycle does not offer its rider any protection in the event of a collision with an automobile. They are completely vulnerable, and definitely more apt to being more injured than a passenger in a motor vehicle. Even the most careful bicyclists sometimes cannot avoid an accident because the automobile driver may not have seen him/her or may not have been paying attention. Chances are that there could be serious injuries to the bicyclist in the event of a crash, with little more than cosmetic damage to the other vehicle involved.
