John Austin

Trial Attorney & Cyclist

As an avid cyclist, I’ve witnessed the life-changing impact that road safety can have. That’s why I’ve pledged to follow the rules of the road and advocate for a safer, more respectful environment for all who share it. 'Not Just A Cyclist' is more than a movement—it's a CALL TO ACTION. By taking the pledge, as a cyclist, you are telling drivers you share in the responsibility of road safety, and you are committing to following the rules of the road. We believe this pledge will, in turn, make vehicle drivers pay closer attention to SHARING THE ROAD with cyclists, so that together, we can create a safer environment for everyone. TOGETHER, WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
