Individuals traveling via bicycle must adhere to the same rules of the road as people operating other vehicles. When a bicycle and large vehicle like a bus collide, the surety that the bicyclist may sustain personal injuries or a potential fatality is probable. If the bicyclist is a young child, it is likely the accident will be severe.
