Yikes! The bikes shown in this Sports Illustrated photo spread are a mangled mess after crashing at the Tour de France. Bike injury lawyer Doug Landau reminds cyclists to practice safe riding!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As anyone who is a serious (or not-so-serious) cyclist knows, the occasional fall is an unavoidable consequence of riding a bike.<\/p>\n

That is why Herndon cyclist and athlete’s lawyer Doug Landau is such a stickler for safety.\u00a0 In fact, a quick search on this site will reveal numerous postings about safe cycling. A recent full-page spread in Sports Illustrated Magazine, showing a crash at the Tour de France, reminds us all that professional cyclists know how to fall.\u00a0 It is part of their training.\u00a0 And, they always wear helmets and have medical assistance nearby during races.<\/p>\n

Those of us who are not quite professionals, but nonetheless spend any time on a bike, must remember to always protect ourselves from a fall.\u00a0 Even though we cannot have medical assistance near us at all times, we can certainly follow other safe cycling rules:<\/p>\n
