Steve Magas on Biking and the Law
Steven Magas is known as Ohio's "Bike Lawyer." He is an avid cyclist and a trial lawyer with 35 years of courtroom experience. In the 1980s his passion for cycling led him to start working on "Bike Law" - legal issues of interest to cyclists. He also started handling cases for injured cyclists and the families of those killed while riding, totaling more than 400 "bike cases" over the course of his career. In addition to representing cyclist, Magas has written about Bike Law on a local, regional, and national basis and is regularly called upon by TV and radio journalists when Bike Law issues pop up in the news. He sits on the Board of the Ohio Bicycle Federation, Ohio's premier cycling advocacy group, where he focuses on drafting and promoting new and improved "Bike Laws." The presentation is for cyclists and lawyers alike. Time will be spend discussing AFRAP (As Far Right As Possible), what is a "roadway" and how confusion about that definition has led to uncertainty for cyclists; practical legal and insurance aspects of cycling which includes how four different policies that you might have can all be triggered the moment you are tapped by a car. Open seating. Event is co-sponsored by the City of Springboro and the Franklin-Springboro Public Library. Contact Dan Boron for more information at (937) 748-6183 or danb@cityofspringboro.com.
