Guest: Peter Wilborn

I try to convey really pertinent, honest, and accurate information all the time; but today I am being somewhat “schooled” by my guest, and I appreciate him taking me to task.
Attorney Peter Wilborn is the founder of Bike Law. His brother was killed in a bicycle crash many years ago and that is what led Peter to focus his career on representing cyclists and their families on what Bike Law terms “your worst day.”
Our topic for this episode is AI and how it is impacting bicycle related cases – not usually for the better.
Peter explains in this, our last scheduled episode about safety for the season, how AI is being used by not only the average lay person, but by some lawyers and law firms, and those answers are often incomplete, misleading, and perhaps not up to date on current law.
Ask an AI bot to answer a legal question and what you get back is possibly not going to be sound legal advice. In fact, according to Peter, you might end up losing a case that is winnable – and it’s not always about money.
As you will hear, there is no substitute for the expertise of an attorney whose career has been laser focused on bike law.
My thanks to Peter for joining me today. I always learn so much from him!
As artificial intelligence becomes more and more ubiquitous, I really appreciate Peter’s expertise and his willingness to share it with straightforward information.
I also found his questions – “who are the leaders in the fight for cyclists? And, what can the thought leaders in our community do to rally around the few voices that can really make a difference?” thought provoking.
Perhaps you have ideas about what is going to make cycling safer. If so, share them!

I’m really excited about this episode because it’s an approach to safety that could truly wake up the public to a concrete reason for watching out for us on the road.
and men’s toilets – yeah, you’ll have to hear what Rob says about this – these visual reminders that cyclists are also doctors, mothers, nurses, engineers, and more are having positive effects on drivers where the campaigns are running.
Amanda McMahon loves the bicycle – everything about it. She loves riding it, racing it, talking and writing about it, and would be happy to quit her IT day job if she could “do bicycle” all day-every day.
This week’s “safety” episode is focused in Ohio but has broad implications about the laws around bikes on the road.
language that changed the whole AFRAP rule.
Yes, this episode quickly follows on the heels of my conversation with Raul Avelar from the IIHS. But, there are so many great safety conversations getting ready to stack up that I wanted to make sure we get them all in this summer.
faster, drivers are distracted, impatient, and angrier, and speed limits are ignored. So it is no wonder that fewer and fewer riders taking to the roads.
This is the second in our series about safety. And, while it isn’t a long conversation, it’s an important one because it helps to set the context for how safety trends are playing out.

Secretary of Transportation claws back $1.7B from the infrastructure bill that promised the money to hundreds, if not thousands, of projects, claiming that he was going to redirect the funds to roads and bridges, not to and I quote “
I’ve had this conversation archived for way too long and in re-listening while editing it today, I thought – how interesting that we are at this strange place with the announcement last week of so much money being rescinded from bike and ped infrastructure, to the amazing 50year project that completed the
