Bicycle accidents are common in Nova Scotia. There’s a push in Halifax Regional Municipality to increase the amount of bike lanes in the downtown core and outside of the downtown core.
The rules of the road as it relates to bicycles are a little bit different than the typical rules of the road for cars, and everyone’s kind of getting used to the new layouts. Essentially, with cycling becoming more common on city streets, we are seeing more cycling accidents.
If you find yourself involved in a cycling accident, again, it can be scary. There’s not a lot of padding on bicycles, the same as with motorcycles, that can often result in more significant injuries. If you’re concerned or you have questions about any aspect of an accident involving a bicycle, by all means reach out and give us a call. We’re happy to walk you through it.
