Cycling and the Law: The free app to protect cyclists

Cycling and the Law is a new app designed to empower cyclists with instant access to free legal information and advice.

Launched today by the Environmental Transport Association (ETA), the iPhone app presents clear and concise answers to over 30 of the most common legal questions. Topics covered range from the legality of riding across a zebra crossing, to a cyclist’s rights in the event of a road traffic collision. Cyclists with a legal conundrum that is not already answered can use the app to contact a team of experienced solicitors and barristers.

Marketing manager at the ETA, Becky Gibbins, commented: “We cyclists are often treated as second-class citizens on the roads, so it pays to know our rights as well as our responsibilities in law.”

“Around 5,000 cyclists per month already visit the ETA website specifically for an answer to a legal question so this free app is designed to make life a little easier for them and others. With the roads as they are, Cycling and the Law is no less vital an accessory than a bicycle pump.”

Other features of the Cycling and the Law app include an eclectic daily feed of bicycle-related news penned by a dedicated team of experienced cyclists.

Cycling and the Law is available to download for free via the app store. Alternatively, read the online version or download an e-book here
