Every Cyclist's Guide to Canadian Law

Whether you are a daily commuter, a parent teaching your child to ride, or a weekend cyclist, Every Cyclist's Guide to Canadian Law is the essential resource for navigating the legal side of life on two wheels. In this updated third edition, law professor and longtime cycling advocate Christopher Waters provides a comprehensive overview of Canadian laws on bicycles. The book covers the rules of the road, purchasing and using bikes, what to do in the case of a crash or a stolen bike, how to start a cycling club, and much more. Clear, concise, and occasionally humorous, this book is written for readers and cyclists with little legal background. The concepts it puts forth are brought to life through anecdotes and examples drawn from Waters' own experience as a seasoned commuter and recreational cyclist. The book also serves as a reliable reference for lawyers, judges, and advocates working in this area. Updated to represent changes in biking practices and corresponding legal responses, including the growing use of e-bikes, this book offers insights into any situation a cyclist may encounter along their journey. A portion of the proceeds from this book will go to Vélo Canada Bikes, an organization working to build a bicycle friendly Canada.
