Why Do Miami Bicycle Accidents Happen?
The risk of a bike accident injury in Florida,
and particularly Miami, is enormous. Even when
bicyclists take all necessary precautions, they
still face significant threats, especially in
high traffic areas. This problem has plagued
Miami for decades.

Cycling experts, as well as city planners, point
to the following issues as possibly contributing
to the city being dangerous for cyclists

• Unaccommodating infrastructure Miami is set up
  almost exclusively to handle vehicle traffic.
  Miami roads have scarce bike lanes in comparison
  with other major cities. Another source of
  bicycle accident problems is the way large
  highways connect through the center of town,
  which is not ideal or safe for cyclists.
• Reckless driving Speeding and drunk driving are
  major problems in Miami. When combined with
  streets that do not allow enough room for
  cyclists, a bike accident injury is often the
  result.
• Lack of public transportation The Miami public
  transit system does not reach as many areas as it
  should. This means many workers rely on bicycles
  and are forced to bike despite unsafe conditions.
