V18: Pedal cyclist injured in noncollision transport accident

Pedal cyclist injuries in noncollision transport accidents refer to a group of injuries that occur while cycling but not involving a crash with another object, vehicle, or person. These injuries may occur due to the cyclist losing control, falling, or getting thrown off the bicycle. A spectrum of injuries can result, affecting multiple body systems. They might range from less severe injuries such as scrapes, bruises, or sprained joints to more serious ones like fractures, head trauma, or internal injuries. Symptoms depend on the specific injury but may include pain, swelling, visible deformity, or decreased function in the affected area. Progression of these conditions varies, with some resolving rapidly while others may have prolonged recovery times or long-term consequences depending on the severity and location of the injury.
