Another issue injured cyclists may also confront when there is no vehicle contact comes from a police report. Most times, when a bicyclist is injured and the police respond to the scene, they fill out a crash report. As with many motorcycle crashes, the officer will sometimes assume that since there was no contact, the rider must have taken “faulty evasive action.” How that could possibly be determined without video evidence or a full-on crash reconstruction, I have no idea. Bicyclists are at a total disadvantage in terms of speed, maneuverability, mass, etc. when matched up with any type of moving vehicle.
