This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual operating a bicycle who was involved in a collision with another bicycle. The incident occurred on a public thoroughfare or other area open to moving vehicles, and the patient is presenting for initial treatment of their injuries.

Apply this code when documenting injuries to a cyclist who was struck by another cyclist in a traffic setting, such as a road, bike path, or parking lot. This is appropriate for the first visit for this specific injury.

• Ensure the patient was the driver of one of the pedal cycles, not a passenger or pedestrian.
• Verify the collision involved two pedal cycles, not a pedal cycle and a motor vehicle or pedestrian.
• Confirm the incident occurred in a "traffic accident" context, implying a public or shared thoroughfare.
