Bicycling and the Law

Your Rights as a Cyclist

Bob Mionske, w/ Magas & Bernardi VeloPress, June 28, 2007

Attorney Mionske argues that the rights of cyclists are abused so frequently that a Cyclists' Bill of Rights is needed:

equality of infrastructure
equal treatment under the law
equal access to insurance protection

Advocacy—Paradigm shift

"...the shared space approach leads to significantly reduced traffic speeds, the virtual elimination of road casualties, and a reduction in congestion."

" It is all about eye contact... No one has a right to cross first, you look around, see and deal with the others, that's possible because everybody slows down approaching these crossings."
