    Mountain bikers are being warned to take extra care this summer

    Mountain bikers are being warned to take extra care this summer


    ACC data to October shows it received nearly three-thousand claims for mountain biking related injuries, costing 18.8 million dollars.

    Bay of Plenty topped the claims list with 442 - followed by Otago then Canterbury.

    Injury Prevention Lead James Whitaker says a lot of accidents happen when riders stop.

    He advises choosing a good place to pull up - to avoid being hit by someone else coming down a track.
