TRABAJEMOS JUNTOS PARA MANTENER SEGUROS NUESTROS CICLISTAS:

TRABAJEMOS JUNTOS PARA MANTENER SEGUROS NUESTROS CICLISTAS: ¿Sabías que Tampa es el lugar más peligroso para andar en bicicleta en los Estados Unidos? De acuerdo con un estudio del Wall Street Journal, el área de Tampa-St. Petersburg tiene 7.0 muertes de ciclistas entre 2007 y 2016 por cada 100,000 personas. Aunque deseamos que los números disminuyan, los modelos actuales predicen que los números se duplicarán en los próximos años. ¿Por qué están ocurriendo los accidentes? Conducción distraída (es decir, mirando mensajes de texto mientras se conduce) El efecto del clima cálido – Debido a que hace calor afuera, todos hacen actividades al aire libre, es decir, caminar, trotar y andar en bicicleta. Esto aumenta el número de ciclistas y peatones en riesgo. Población de conductores: a diferencia de otros estados, la Florida tiene una gran cantidad de conductores jóvenes, conductores de edad avanzada y conductores de fuera del estado, lo que provoca un mayor riesgo de accidentes y lesiones. Malos diseños de carreteras: muchos lugares en Tampa todavía no tienen un carril para bicicletas u otras rutas seguras para los ciclistas, lo que les obliga a usar la carretera, los hombros o la acera. Ninguna de esas opciones es segura para nuestros ciclistas o peatones. ¿Qué debes hacer? No podemos controlar el diseño de la ciudad o el clima, pero podemos hacerlo más seguro para ambos lados. Cosas que hacer como ciclista: Use el equipo de seguridad adecuado, esto también incluye el casco adecuado Apégate por caminos para bicicletas ¡Comparte el camino! Date tiempo suficiente al cruzar una intersección Cosas que hacer como conductor: ¡Suelte el teléfono! ¡Puede esperar! Conduzca siempre dentro del límite de velocidad. Dejar suficiente espacio entre usted y el ciclista ¡Comparte el camino!

LETS WORK TOGETHER TO KEEP OUR CYCLISTS SAFE:

LETS WORK TOGETHER TO KEEP OUR CYCLISTS SAFE: Did you know that Tampa is the most dangerous place to bike in America? Tampa-St. Petersburg area has 7.0 bicyclists deaths from 2007-2016 per 100,000 people according to a Wall Street Journal study. Though we wish the numbers will decrease, the current models predict that the numbers will double in the years to come. Why are the accidents happening? Distracted driving (i.e. texting while driving) The Warm Weather Effect- Because it is warm outside, everyone is out doing outdoor activities i.e. walking, jogging, and biking. This then increases the number of cyclists and pedestrians at risk.  Driver Population- Florida unlike other states have a large number of young drivers, elderly drivers, and out-of-state drivers which then causes a higher risk for accidents and injury. Poor Road Designs- A lot of places in Tampa still don’t have a bike lane or other safe routes for cyclists, which forces them to use the road, shoulders, or the sidewalk. None of those options are safe for our cyclist or pedestrians.  What Should you do? We can’t control the design of the city or the weather, but we can make it safer for both sides.  Things to do as a cyclist: Wear the proper safety gear, this also includes the right helmet Sick to bike-friendly roads Share the road! Give yourself enough time when crossing an intersection Things to do as a driver: Put down the phone! It can wait! Always drive within the speed limit  Leave enough room between you and the cyclist Share the road! Look for cyclist and pedestrians Injured in a bike crash? A loved one injured in a bike crash?
