What should cyclists do immediately after a crash with a car? In this episode of Recreational Rider to Racer, we sit down with Chris Carville, an experienced bike lawyer, to break down exactly what cyclists should (and should NOT) say or do after a crash — and how one small mistake can cost you thousands of dollars.
If you ride on the road, this episode is essential. We cover cycling vs cars, cyclist rights on the road, bike insurance, race waivers, medical bills, hit-and-runs, and the #1 mistake cyclists make after getting hit by a car.
