Although many bicycle accidents occur on busy roadways, even where a designated bike lane is available for cyclists, these accidents occur in other locations as well. Bicycle accidents are common in parking garages and parking lots, for example, due to the limited visibility often found there.
A bicyclist may become involved in a dooring accident in a parking lot or on the side of the road. Dooring accidents occur when a motor vehicle driver or a passenger carelessly opens their door into the path of an oncoming bicyclist. Bicyclists sustain very serious injuries from the impact of this type of collision, and may even fall to the ground.
In addition to those taking place in urban areas with a lot of traffic, bicycle accidents also happen on rural country roads, especially those that are narrow and have winding turns. Rural road conditions can make it difficult for motor vehicle operators to see a bicycle in time to avoid colliding with it. Moreover, when narrow roads do not have designated bicycle lanes, a bicycle accident is more likely to occur. When these roads have a large number of sharp turns, poor visibility leads to sudden collisions.
