Cycling is a great, healthy means of getting around and a fun leisure activity for people of all ages. However, particularly on fast and busy roads, cyclists can feel vulnerable. In 2011, 90% of injuries to pedal cyclists in the county occurred on urban roads with pedal cyclists involved in 60% of reported road accidents in Cambridge City.
The benefits of cycling far outweigh the risks, but the pages and links in this section will provide information on how to keep the risks as low as possible.
