What Makes Early Morning Bicycle Crashes More Dangerous. Bicycle accidents in the early morning are often more serious because of poor visibility. In low-light conditions, drivers may struggle to spot cyclists, particularly on poorly lit roads. Early-morning traffic patterns can also heighten the risk. On less crowded roads, some drivers may speed up, leaving less time to react. Road positioning is another factor.
