Come Hear Bob Mionske speak TONIGHT about Bikers Road Rights

[reno bikes]

Date:	Thursday, June 17, 2010
Time:	7:30pm - 9:30pm
Location:	Sparks Nugget, Poolside Terrace Room, 5th floor

On Day 1, of the Tour de Nez bike race, a former Olympian and nationally known bike law advocate is coming to Reno. He'll talk with all of us, and law enforcement, about the growing threats to safety on our roads.

Bob Mionske, two-time Olympian and "bicycle law" expert, will be joined by Washoe County, Reno and Sparks police and leadership from traffic safety, cycling groups, and, we hope, you. There will be an open discussion about rules of the road, legal rights of motorists and cyclists, and ways to make Reno roads less risky.

The forum comes a month after a former Tour De Nez racer was hit and severely injured on South McCarran -- and just a week after a three-year-old girl on a bicycle was struck by a motorist http://www.mynews4.com/story.php?id=19692&n=122.

Mionske bases his law practice out of Portland and is the author of "Bicycling & the Law: Your Rights as a Cyclist." He gives talks across the country on road safety and cyclists' rights, and he writes "Road Rights," a regular column for Bicycling Magazine.

Please come!

Sincerely,

RBP
