Having A Safe Bicycle Ride | Health Insiders

Cyclists always have to keep safety in mind. Derek Papp, Sports Medicine Physician at Miami Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Institute, recommends to keep a certain level of common sense: you need to know your route before yo go and the area where you need to be careful. The most common injury in cyclists is clavicle factrures. Dr. Papp says you don't usually have time to react when you fall off a bike. You can also hurt your wrist if you have time to push out. Even though getting a road rash is a minor injury it could be pretty annoying to ride again.
