Report nowReport your incident
Use Bicycle Network’s crash reporter to report the details about your incident including when, where and how it happened, if you were injured and other information.
Even if you didn’t crash but had a near miss it is still good to report it so we can work on the things that are causing problems for people who ride.
Reporting your crash will help us discover the most common causes of incidents so that we can work to get them fixed.

Report nowWhat happens next?
If you had a crash involving another person, vehicle or you were injured there are some other things you should do.
Make a police report
If you haven’t already, you should report your incident with the police. It can be helpful to have an official record of events with police in case you need it for insurance or legal purposes.
Report dangerous driving
After making a police report, you can also file a report with Crime Stoppers, the nation-wide community organisation that specialises in gathering information and funnelling it to law enforcement.
Medical assesment
You should visit a doctor to be assessed. Sometimes it can take a few days for injuries to appear, so even if you don’t feel too bad right now you should still make an appointment.
Contact Riders Rights
To walk through your crash with our Riders’ rights team call us on 1800 639 634.They can assist you to claim to costs resulting from an injury, to get legal assistance, or recover damages.
If you have any questions about the information above, or any other issues related to an incident you’ve been involved in, please contact us and we will provide any assistance we can.
