Bicycle accident in Ennepetal: woman falls over train tracks!
Late on Friday evening, July 11, 2025, a bicycle accident occurred on Kölner Straße in Ennepetal at around 10:25 p.m. A 37-year-old woman from Ennepetal was involved in a fall that was possibly caused by train tracks that were on the road. According to a report from the Ennepe-Ruhr district police authority, the woman suffered minor injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital for further evaluation.

Risks for cyclists
A central factor in these accidents appears to be the inadequate infrastructure, which, according to the police, is responsible for one in three solo accidents. Dangerous elements such as curbs and tram tracks often pose a great danger. This is supported by the results of a study which shows that in 27,400 cases cyclists had accidents without the involvement of other road users and around 6,400 people suffered serious injuries Tagesschau explains that....
The incidents are a sign that both young and older cyclists perceive dangers during their journey that are often not caused by other road users. Pedelecs in particular, which are heavier and can accelerate faster, are more likely to cause serious injuries. This shows that although cycling is a popular means of transport, safety often falls by the wayside.
Conclusion
The situation surrounding cyclist safety urgently needs to be improved. The focus should be on creating safe cycle paths that also better take dangerous elements such as train tracks into account. Transportation projects that help optimize infrastructure could help significantly reduce the risk of accidents. Cyclists need to feel safe, whether they are cycling to work or just going for a ride.
