Why is Florida So Dangerous For Cyclists?
Statistically, cyclists in Florida have a higher chance of being killed while riding than in any other state. Per capita, the rate is close to 60 percent higher than the next highest state. Year-round warm weather means that cyclists are out on the road more than in some other states, but other reasons include:
- Negligent or distracted motorists
- More elderly drivers on the road
- More tourists on the road
- High population
- Defects in major roadways
