		<description><![CDATA[There have been a couple of court decisions recently in cases brought by injured cyclists against car drivers. The cases suggest that the courts perhaps aren’t being as generous to cyclists as they are to injured pedestrians – especially when it comes to contributory negligence. In Malasi v Attmed a cyclist jumped a red light, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lots of people post online about fixed penalty notices (FPNs) they’ve been given. Often they’re upset, or feel they’ve been mistreated in some way. I thought I’d look at the legal position when an FPN is issued and is open to criticism – for example because it mentions the wrong offence, or imposes the wrong [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few listeners to the Law in Action piece about cycling law have picked up on something I missed: one of the complaints about cyclists, with which Joshua Rozenberg opened the discussion, was that cyclists behave as though bus lanes don’t apply to them. I’ve been asked whether there’s any basis for the criticism. Personally [...]]]></description>

It’s a special time of unique cycling experiences - like when you’re caught in the dark without lights, and are sure that it wasn’t night-time this early last week. Or the unexpected early-morning downpour, before you’ve started bringing extra clothes to work just in case, which means [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been asked this question a few times: on paths which are shared by pedestrians and cyclists, who has priority? In a way, the answer doesn’t really matter – what’s important is that both pedestrians and cyclists use the paths considerately, rather than insist on their rights. Personally, I tend to think that off-road cycle [...]]]></description>

A police officer saw him and gave him a fixed penalty [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve written before about the law’s treatment of cycle helmets. As I said then, helmets aren’t compulsory for UK cyclists, so you won’t commit an offence if you ride without one. But the decision not to wear a helmet can still have legal consequences in certain circumstances. For example, take a cyclist who suffers a [...]]]></description>

As I said then, it’s an offence for a motorist to cross the first stop line (at the entrance to the ASZ) when the traffic light is red. But it’s not an offence [...]]]></description>

I’ve been putting off writing about it, because it’s a simple question with a horribly complicated answer. There’s no general rule which makes it an offence to cycle the wrong way up a one-way street. But that [...]]]></description>
