Authors discuss Every Cyclist’s Guide to Canadian Law
I spoke with Nicole LaViolette and Craig Forcese is past fall at the Toronto International Book Fair about their new book, Every Cyclist’s Guide to Canadian Law. The work not only has information on traffic laws and safety, but facts about warranties on new bikes and even rules surrounding doping. The authors both teach law at the University of Ottawa. LaViolette focuses mostly on international law and refugee issue. Forcese says he teaches subjects that are even more obscure than cycling and the law. Both, however, are avid cyclists who saw a need for a book on cycling and Canadian law.
