Bicycle Accidents

Minnesota has one of the largest cycling populations in the United States. Under Minnesota law, bicycle riders are required to follow the same traffic laws as drivers of motor vehicles. Bicyclists also have the same protection of the laws as motorists. In 2008 there were 981 bicycle accidents in Minnesota which was a slight decrease in crashes compared to 1,020 accidents the previous year. Unfortunately, the number of Minnesota bicyclist fatalities increased more than three times and there were 13 bicycle accident related deaths.
