		<description><![CDATA[Last Friday juries acquitted the two motorists accused of, respectively, the manslaughter of Sam Harding and dangerous driving in the collision which left Mary Bowers in a coma. Both Sam and Mary were cycling at the time they were hit. The two acquittals have caused a lot of anger amongst cyclists. They raise the question [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve submitted a paper to the Parliamentary Inquiry on cycling, arguing for a presumption of liability in collisions between motor vehicles and cyclists. You can read the paper here (pdf). Regular readers will recognise some of the arguments from things I&#8217;ve written before.

		<description><![CDATA[From 3 December 2012, there will be a new offence of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, carrying a maximum penalty of 5 years in prison (plus a fine). (LASPO s. 143; RTA s.1A; SI 2012/2770 art 2(b)) The offence doesn&#8217;t apply if you ride a regular (pedal-powered) bicycle &#8211; it can only be committed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the run-up to the Olympics, cyclists have been threatened with higher-than-usual fines for riding in dedicated Olympics lanes. As I&#8217;ve mentioned before, normally the maximum fixed penalty notice for cyclists is £30. I thought I&#8217;d check whether there is any legal basis for higher fines for riding in Games lanes. There&#8217;s a lot of [...]]]></description>

		<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>

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.

		<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>
