Cycling Brooklyn? The Two Accident Types Lawyers See Most (And How to Protect Yourself) * Brooklyn Paper

With over 762,000 regular cyclists navigating Brooklyn's streets, understanding your rights and knowing what to do after an accident is crucial. The Reality of Brooklyn's Bike Scene Brooklyn boasts some of NYC's busiest bike routes, with the Williamsburg Bridge area seeing over 7,000 daily cyclists. But with this volume comes risk-there were about eight accidents per mile of available cycling paths in 2025.
