About Bicycle Dooring Accident

Our Journey and Mission

Bicycle Dooring Accident was founded in 2017 with a simple yet powerful vision: to shed light on an often-overlooked aspect of cycling safety—dooring accidents. What started as a passion project by a group of cycling enthusiasts has evolved into a trusted online resource, dedicated to raising awareness and providing unbiased information to cyclists worldwide.

Our Story

The idea for our website stemmed from a personal experience, where a cyclist was severely injured due to a dooring incident. This tragic event sparked a movement among like-minded individuals who recognized the lack of comprehensive resources available to educate riders about this critical safety issue. Thus, Bicycle Dooring Accident was born.

Over the years, we’ve marked several milestones:

  • 2018: Published our first in-depth guide on preventing dooring accidents, reaching over 50,000 downloads.
  • 2019: Expanded our team and launched a dedicated research section, analyzing global trends and statistics related to doorings.
  • 2020: Introduced an interactive map showcasing reported dooring incidents worldwide, fostering a sense of community and shared experience.
  • 2022: Achieved over one million page views, solidifying our position as the go-to source for bicycle dooring safety information.

Identifying the Information Gap

The internet is replete with cycling websites focusing on various aspects of the sport, but we identified a glaring gap in resources dedicated exclusively to dooring accidents. While individual stories and personal accounts exist, there was a distinct lack of organized, reliable information that could educate riders on prevention, safety measures, and their rights after an accident.
