The question of whether municipalities have a responsibility to maintain safe streets without hazards that could injure people riding bikes has been raised in California recently. CalBike joined an amicus brief in a court case that could have let cities off the hook if injured bike riders had signed a third-party waiver. Thankfully, the California Supreme Court struck that down. However, the Los Angeles City Attorney is lobbying for a state law to cap awards and limit liability for cities that fail to maintain their streets everywhere in California.
Here’s where bike riders’ rights are being challenged and what CalBike is doing to defend them.
