What is the cause of crashes?

  1. An Interaction of factors

  2. Contributing individual components

  3. Mechanical failures

  4. Environmental conditions

The correct answer is: An Interaction of factors

The cause of crashes is best explained by the choice "An Interaction of factors." Crashes usually result from a combination of various factors coming together, such as mistakes made by the rider, other road users, environmental conditions, and mechanical failures. These factors interact in complex ways that can lead to a crash. It is rarely due to a single reason but rather a combination of factors that contribute to the outcome. It is essential for riders to be aware of these various factors and how they can interact to prevent accidents and ride safely.
