La mayor\u00eda de los conductores prestan atenci\u00f3n a las bicicletas. Pero cuando alguno no lo hace, suele ser el ciclista quien sale perjudicado, con lesiones que lo llevan al hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Un choque con un veh\u00edculo puede dejar a un ciclista con fracturas, un traumatismo craneal o algo peor.

Y cuando no se dan cuenta de lo que tienen justo delante, son los ciclistas quienes pagan las consecuencias. Algunas de las causas m\u00e1s comunes de los accidentes de bicicleta en Elizabeth son:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Giros a la izquierda cruzando los carriles para bicicletas.<\/strong> Los ciclistas que circulan en l\u00ednea recta por un cruce suelen ser atropellados por veh\u00edculos que giran.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dooring.<\/strong> Una puerta que se abra de golpe en Elizabeth Avenue o frente a una tienda de comestibles en una esquina podr\u00eda hacer que un ciclista se cayera de la bicicleta.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Conducci\u00f3n distra\u00edda. <\/strong>Los tel\u00e9fonos, los mapas y el tr\u00e1fico a gran velocidad hacen que los conductores pierdan f\u00e1cilmente de vista lo que les rodea.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Velocidad en condiciones de tr\u00e1fico denso. <\/strong>Un autom\u00f3vil que circula a una velocidad excesiva para las condiciones del momento no siempre puede detenerse cuando un ciclista se cruza en su camino.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Paso inseguro.<\/strong> Los conductores que calculan mal la distancia o la velocidad pueden no dejar suficiente espacio para que los ciclistas mantengan el equilibrio.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00bfSab\u00edas que la ley de Nueva Jersey exige a los conductores dejar al menos cuatro pies de distancia al rebasar a ciclistas, o reducir la velocidad hasta poder rebasarlos de manera segura?
