In Texas, cyclists have the same rights as drivers and share similar responsibilities. And unfortunately, like motorists, cyclists too often die on Texas streets.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that 48 pedalcyclists died in Texas in 2009. A "pedalcyclist" is someone who uses a bicycle, tricycle, or a tandem bicycle. Nationally, pedalcyclists represented two percent of all traffic fatalities in 2009, or 630 fatalities.
