A little about me: First and foremost, I am an avid cyclist riding on average 7,000k a year. I ride to work, I ride fondos, I ride my bike every day through all kinds of weather, because I love it. I’m also a lawyer with more than 20 years of experience, primarily in personal injury law.
In 2019, I founded The Cycling Lawyer because I saw a need within the cycling community for specialized representation. As a passionate cyclist myself, I hold a unique perspective into the complex world of bicycling and the law. My goal is to fight on behalf of cyclists and advocate for safer streets.
In the process of building my business I have quickly learned that it is our collective voice that enables us to push for respect on the roads, safer streets and cycling infrastructure spending. Together we are a force to contend with!
In the months to come, I will be writing posts here on cycling and the law. My goal is for these posts to be as interactive as possible, so if you have any cycling or legal questions, please pass them along.
I’m looking forward to riding the road ahead with you.
For years I have advocated on behalf of cyclists, and fought for cycling rights. Lately, I’ve seen an increase in negative attitudes and aggression against cyclists.
One of the indirect effects of COVID-19 is that it has propelled us outside more. We are walking, running, hiking and biking like never before.
More than 2 million bikes are stolen across North America every year! Project 529 is trying to change that, and has reduced bike theft by more than 50% in some cities.
Back when I really started taking cycling seriously, if you mentioned the term “protected bike lanes” it was sure to incite a debate.
