California state law gives bicyclists the same road rights as traditional vehicles on the road. Rules regarding riding bicycles on the sidewalk vary from city to city, but most riders ride in the street to avoid both citations and people walking on the sidewalk. Motorists are often under the impression that bicyclists should yield to them, which is a common cause for these types of accidents.

Bicycle accidents occur most often due to:

• Motorists fail to yield to the right-of-way
• Bicyclists fail to yield to the right-of-way
• Automobiles turn in front of a bicyclists
• Motorists attempt to pass bicycle riders
• Unsafe lane merges by motorists
