Rider protection measures
Cycling safety refers to practices and equipment that protect bicyclists from injury—helmets, lights, reflective gear, and awareness of traffic patterns.
The term appears in public health campaigns and urban planning discussions: The city invested in cycling safety infrastructure.
It encompasses both individual precautions and systemic measures like protected bike lanes.
