Is Cypress safe to ride a bike?
This page covers traffic crashes, not crime. We don't rate cities as safe or unsafe: crash counts can't say how risky a street is, and busy streets have more crashes partly because more people use them. What the records show: 98 bike crashes were reported in Cypress from 2021–2026, 6 of them serious or fatal. The most were at Ball Rd & Valley View St (9). 57% were side-impact crashes at junctions (drivers pulling out or turning across). 12% were sideswipes (close passes, right hooks, car doors).
