Injured in a Bicycle Accident?

Now is an incredibly exciting time to be part of the Minneapolis bicycle community! 30 Days of Biking has kicked into high gear, and National Bike Month is just around the corner.

This means there are more cyclists out now than there have been for months. It also means there is a higher likelihood for accidents involving cyclists and drivers. If you find yourself an unfortunate victim of a bike/car crash, make sure you follow these steps.
