Schwandorf: Cyclist (75) falls seriously injured after overtaking maneuver!
On August 10, 2025, a traffic accident occurred in Schwandorf that affected a 75-year-old cyclist. At around 10:30 a.m. on Hans-Kraus-Allee, there was a collision that drew attention to the challenges in cycling. The affected cyclist was traveling into the city with two other women from Schwandorf when the incident occurred.
A 56-year-old cyclist wanted to overtake two others. She announced her intentions with a short ring. But things turned out differently than expected: After the 56-year-old had overtaken the 77-year-old and the 75-year-old cyclist, the 75-year-old suddenly lost control of her bike. This resulted in the woman falling and injuring her right hand. A quick contact with a guard rail left a painful cut.
Injury and hospitalization
These unfortunate circumstances meant that the injured cyclist had to be taken to hospital immediately. There she received the necessary medical care before being transferred to Regensburg for further treatment. It is hoped that she will recover quickly from this incident.
The accident sheds light on cycling safety and shows once again how important consideration and caution are on the roads. At a time when more and more people are choosing bicycles as an environmentally friendly means of transport, it is essential that all road users treat each other carefully and considerately. The statistics on cycling accidents in Germany underline this necessity, as the federal state assessments also show that Bavaria is confronted with numerous cycling anomalies. Information about this can be found on platforms such as Fahrrad-Unfallorte.de, which provide some localized numbers and data about bicycle accidents. Other federal states and districts such as Regensburg and Upper Palatinate are also affected, which indicates that the problems in cycling are far-reaching.
In Schwandorf, where the accident occurred, measures to improve traffic safety are already being discussed. But this is only a small step in a direction that should make all road users safer in the long term. Everyone is still required to ensure safe coexistence on the paths. If we work together, it can be possible to better protect cyclists as well as other road users.
So stay careful and attentive on your next bike ride - there is a lot to discover, but also a lot to consider!
