Have you been injured in a bicycle crash/ bicycle accident?

In most Missouri cities, bicyclists have the same rights to the road as motor vehicles.  Many cities have been actively adding bike lanes to encourage environmentally friendly bicycle riding.  Missouri also has numerous trails including state wide rails to trails programs including the Katy Trail.

This increase in bicycle riding also leads to increased interactions between motor vehicles and bicycles and bicycle riders.
