	Bicycle safety - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bicycle safety is the use of practices designed to reduce risk associated with cycling.
		Primary safety is the active reduction of risk; secondary safety is measures taken to mitigate the consequences of risk.
		In addition to technical improvements in brakes, tyres and bicycle construction generally (for example, it is now rare for a chain to snap and throw the rider when accelerating away from a stop), there are well-understood behavioural models which actively manage the risk posed by others.
