Statistics are important, and the statistics on bicycling accidents say a lot: according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), more than 500 Americans are killed in biking accidents every year and an astounding 300,000 riders suffer accident-related injuries.
Real-life stories drive home the stark reality that the people who are injured are more than numbers and their family’s grief isn’t bound by the edges of a Word document. Last week, Dr. Benjamin Siu, a pediatric cardiologist at Cook’s Children Hospital in Fort Worth, died when he fell from his bicycle. The accident wasn’t particularly dramatic, but it was enough to cost Dr. Siu his life.
