Oh no! Maybe you’ve just been involved in a cycling accident. Are you looking for a quick solution to ease the pain? Well, read on to find out what to do in case of a cycling accident.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Call emergency services if things look bad<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    First, check on the fallen person to gauge how they’re doing. They often give the best impression of whether they’re able to continue cycling. If the situation seems serious, don’t hesitate to call for help.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      Assess your surroundings<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      If the situation seems okay, try to find a safe spot to stand. Sometimes, you can forget about the traffic around you when something happens.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        Rinse the wound<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Falling on asphalt can result in nasty abrasions. Rinse the dirt out of the wound with drinking water if possible. Do you have a bandage handy? Perfect! Otherwise, you can always press on the wound with, for example, a glove or a piece of clothing.<\/p>\n

        If there’s an arterial bleeding, tie a piece of clothing or, for example, an inner tube around the limb using a tourniquet.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. \n

          Look for yarrow<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Is the accident near a roadside? There’s a good chance that yarrow grows there. Crush the leaves and apply them to the wound. This will quickly stop the bleeding, has antibacterial properties, and numbs the skin. It’s no wonder Achilles carried this leaf on his military campaigns!<\/p>\n

          \"\"<\/a> \"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. \n

            Keep cycling!<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            As soon as it’s possible, it’s wise to keep moving. Check the bike to ensure it’s ready to continue. If someone has hit their head hard, it’s best not to move them too much. Call for help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
