ABOUT BIKE ACCIDENT CLAIMS
Interesting cycling facts:
More than 3.5 million cycles were
sold in 2007 up from 2.8 million in the year 2000. The
UK's ever expanding cycle lane network now stretches to
12,000 miles. The average cost of maintaining a pedal
bike is no more than £75. [source Sustrans]
You can see why cycling has become so
popular - particularly in an age of increasing economic
uncertainty.
