About

meMy name is Jorren Knibbe, and I’m a barrister practising mainly in regulatory law.

I started cycling to work in early 2009. I found myself riding around and wondering what would happen if I was caught going the wrong way up a one-way street, jumping a red or something similar. I began doing some research and writing up what I found out, and UK Cycle Rules was the result.

I need to say, as a disclaimer, that material on this site is just for general discussion, and nothing written here is legal advice. Your legal position depends on the facts of your own case. If things get serious and you want answers (or the truth), you’ll need to consult a lawyer properly.

Some other little things to note:

  • This site talks about the rules in England and Wales. Scotland and Northern Ireland can be different.
  • I’ll use abbreviations to refer to legislation. They’re explained on the abbreviations page.
