Cycling Seminar by Piscitello Law
The seminar will be held at Canal Street Pub, a cyclist’s favorite in Reading! Big thanks to Jake Bausher for hosting us all! The address is: 535 Canal St, Reading, PA 19602. Doors open at 6:45pm, but the talk will not start until 7pm. There will be free drinks and appetizers provided for those who register. For more info on the Pub, Click here to visit the Site!
What is a Law Seminar?
The cycling seminar that will be presented is our firms’ way of educating the community on the best ways to preemptively prepare and hopefully prevent crashes and collisions with motor vehicles. The unfortunate truth is cycling infrastructure is lackluster at best in many parts of our communities, and it is up to us as cyclists to understand these dangers both on and off the bike. Joseph Piscitello, our lead attorney, will lead this seminar and cover multiple topics about the law and how it is connected to cycling. To see other talks we have done, click here.
Why Should You Attend?
Well, there is the free beer and appetizers… but if that is not enough, you will also learn about how to legally prepare and protect yourself from worst-case scenarios of crashes. There is a surprising amount of information that the general public does not know which can make the world of a difference in case of a crash. What kind of protection you have as a cyclist goes far beyond your safety gear like a helmet or bike lights, and we want you to learn all about it!
What Topics Will We Cover?
- Auto-Insurance, and how it is connected to you as a cyclist.
- Common Bike vs. Car collision scenarios. (How to avoid and what to do if you get in one.)
- Cycling policies and issues.
- Your questions and comments!
