Customer Reviews

A Wealth of Knowledge

I heard about this book from a fellow cyclist when seeking clarification of rights and responsibilities of cyclists. Mionske has written what I consider to be a wealth of knowledge for a cyclist concerned with legal issues. He explains difficult subjects in language that is both easily understood and interesting. This book is an important tool for arming even everyday cyclists with knowledge for discussing topics with those who have misconceptions about cyclists and their rights to the road.

Essential reading for regular cyclists

This book should be on the bookshelf of every commuter and recreational cyclist. It's a treasure trove of information on every conceivable legal topic, coupled with insightful and interesting looks at the history and evolution of cycling law. Stop guessing! Learn the facts and ride more effectively.

Great for all cyclists

This book is perfect for anyone who gets on a bicycle. Although you would think the subject matter would be boring at times, the author discusses everything in an interesting context. Must read for cyclists.

Excellent Resource

The best resource (that I know of) on bicycle laws and their history. It will answer just about any questions you might have -- like what can you do when the left turn signal isn't triggered by your bike, etc. Highly recommended.
