– Global News, 2020

Despite the ever-increasing popularity, Ontario’s cycling infrastructure is struggling to keep pace, and drivers are often unfamiliar with the challenges faced by cyclists in the urban and rural settings throughout the Greater Hamilton and Southwestern Ontario region.

The increased number of cyclists on the road, and the potential for conflict with motor vehicle traffic can and does lead to collisions in which cyclists can suffer significant injuries, and even death.

Cyclists are particularly vulnerable to injury when struck by a car, and such collisions can often result in serious medical conditions including broken bones, head injuries, damage to the spinal cord and other orthopedic injuries, as well as soft tissue injuries such as to the neck and back.

In the course of recovering from an injury, many cycling accident victims experience pain that can reduce their quality of life, and affect their ability to earn an income, perform domestic tasks and otherwise provide for themselves and their families. These injuries and their aftermath can leave victims and their families wrestling with the stress related to not only their physical limitations, but also the emotional and financial impact upon their lives.
