Question 7729

When do more bicycle accidents occur, in summer or in winter?

  1. In winter, due to adverse weather conditions.
  2. In summer, since with the arrival of good weather there are more cyclists on the roads.
  3. It makes no difference.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: In summer, since with the arrival of good weather there are more cyclists on the roads.

In summer. Many more cyclists go out in good weather, especially on weekends, and accidents increase along with their numbers. Between 2008 and 2013, more accidents involving cyclists occurred from June through September than during the winter months. Bad weather calls for extra care, but fewer cyclists are on the road in winter.
