May is the perfect time of year for the whole family to get out for a bike ride! At Graves McLain, we hope that you and your family join us in celebrating National Bike Month.
Since 1956, the League of American Bicyclists has organized National Bike Month as a way to raise awareness about the benefits of riding a bike, as well as proper bicycle safety.
Whether you ride a bike to commute to work or school, to get some exercise, or simply to enjoy Oklahoma’s beautiful summer scenery, cycling is a fun and environmentally friendly way to get out and enjoy life in Tulsa and the surrounding areas.
Unfortunately, cyclists face a much higher risk of being seriously injured in traffic accidents compared to drivers and occupants in passenger vehicles. Here are some additional statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Institute (NHTSA) that show how dangerous Bicycle Accidents are nationwide:
