Jamil Estorninos asked:


It need not be said that a bicycle rider needs a lot of protection to free him from bodily injuries. These injuries often include:

•    broken bones

•    brain injuries

•    spinal cord injuries

•    amputations

A rather worst bicycle crash can even result to wrongful death. For all of these, a biker can receive compensation by securing the services of an expert bicycle crash lawyer in California.

If wearing proper cycling gears and devices does not just seem enough to insure safety, may be it is time to learn some applicable biking laws with a bicycle crash lawyer.

Basic Applicable Laws for Cyclists

Before embarking on a leisure bike trip, you need to arm yourself with knowledge of applicable laws governing bicycle crashes. Because you cannot possibly put the blame to someone for every accident that you might encounter, you must have proof of the other party’s negligence to hold him effectively liable.

You safety will not only depend on the safety devices you wear but on the knowledge you have of laws in bicycling. Basic of which is the premise that under the Californian Vehicle Code, a bike rider has the same rights and provisions on the road like other vehicle driver.

The following are the rules shared by bike riders with other vehicle drivers who drive cars, among others:

•    Brake must be in a  pleasant condition to make the wheel skid on dry, level or clean pavement

•    Handlebar must be placed above your shoulder to grasp a normal steering grip area

•    The bike must be in upright position with a least one foot on the ground

•    During the night needs to have a lamp, red reflector on the rear of the bicycle and  a white or yellow reflector on each pedal

You must also be aware of your road duties as bike riders; travel according to the speed and the direction of the traffic. If you are traveling in sweet time, stay on the curb or edge of the roadway so as not to disturb other motorists.

Liability during Bicycle Crash Accidents

Bicycle has become a common form of transportation in California besides cars. Tourists love it for sight seeing and health buffs like it to keep in shape.

But because bike depends on human power, it has limited capacity like humans do. Drivers on a motorized wheel oftentimes undermine, or ignore, bicycle riders.

If you believe you have been injured while riding your bike without fault of your own but by the negligence of other drivers, you must pursue a personal injury claim. Remember that you are protected under the law and a bicycle crash lawyer in California can help you.

Compensation for Bike Related Accidents

This lawyer will help you negotiate with insurance companies to obtain your benefits. He/She can even institute a personal injury, or even a wrongful death claim, so you will be compensated, rightfully.

Under the law, you can recover the following compensations:

•    Medical and health care bills

•    Lost of present and future income

•    Financial compensation for families, if the victim died

For help relating to bicycle accidents in California, immediately confer with your bicycle crash lawyer before the statute of limitation forever barred your claim. It is just a bike ride away for the protection of your right so ride safely.

Bill H asked:


Gas prices soar and concerns grow over global warming, alternative fuel vehicles are gaining attraction. When it comes to cars, trucks, and SUVs, a hybrid is currently the most popular alternative to a gas powered engine. But when it comes to short-range travel, say 20 miles or less, an electric bike is a fun, economical, and environmentally friendly option. For only pennies, an electric bike can get you from place to place without breaking a sweat and without the hassles of traffic jamming.

An electric bike has pedals like any normal bicycle, and you can use those pedals to push yourself under your own power. But the electric bike also has an electric motor, which you can use to supplement your pedaling. The power is useful when starting from a stop or when riding up hills. Otherwise, you can let the electric motor provide all the power while you sit back and enjoy the ride. This makes an electric bike one of the most adaptable vehicles around. There are even models of electric bikes that fold up for easy storage or travel such as ( I zip Via Mezza), as well as recumbent electric bikes, which will take bicycling to a new level of relaxation (just don't fall asleep at the wheel!).

An electric bike can be purchased as an off-the-shelf item, or you can purchase a conversion kit to convert any bicycle to an electric bike. The significant factors to consider when selecting an electric bike are battery life (which determines how far you can travel on a charge), speed, and durability. Today's electric bikes take advantage of the advances in battery technology. Many electric bikes are powered by nickel-metal-hydride or lithium ion batteries, which can give a travel range of two hours. Most electric bikes are capable of reaching speeds of 10 to 20 miles per hour. Robustness is an important consideration, and like anything, you get what you pay for. Check your local laws, but generally there is no registration required for an electric bike.
