Injury Podcast

We have Dave Haynes on today’s episode to go over 10 very important bike safety tips. If you’re a cyclist, we have some surprising facts for you. Did you know that bicycle-related injuries account for 1.2 million doctor visits per year? Florida is the most dangerous place to bike in the USA and it results to 125 deaths per year. You are also 14.3 times more likely to die if you don’t wear a helmet. Hopefully this podcast will shed some light about bicycle injuries and things you can do to remain safe!    Key Takeaways: Dave Haynes is the owner of Bicycle World in Lake Worth.  I like to recommend to my patients that cycling is a better form of exercise than running because it has a low impact on the body.  Get a bike that fits - make sure your bike is the proper frame size, seat height, seat position and stem length.
