Bicycle Accident Attorneys Rahman Law PC Cancel Exhibit at Biketoberfest Marin

Posted on by Rahman Law PC

bicycle accident attorney biketoberfestSan Francisco, CA — (ReleaseWire) — 10/14/2017 –Rahman Law PC announces the cancellation of their exhibit at Biketoberfest Marin on October 14, 2017 held in Fairfax, California.  The Air Quality Index (AQI) reached an unhealthy 165 at 10:00 the morning of the event and was therefore cancelled by event coordinators Marin County Bicycle Coalition and Access4Bikes for health concerns.  Biketoberfest Marin is a handmade bike show and brewfest event hosted by and benefiting the Marin County Bicycle Coalition and Access4Bikes inclusive of all varieties of cycling enthusiasts drawing over 5,000 attendees.  This would have been Rahman Law PC’s eighth year supporting the event.

The cancellation of Biketoberfest Marin is due to the unhealthy air quality from the thousands of acres burned by the wildfires in Santa Rosa, Napa, and Sonoma.  Ms. Rahman and so many others had continued their plans to attend Biketoberfest for some needed community spirit, but at this time a focus on health is needed when so much of the event is about an activity that uses the cardiovascular system.  “Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by the fires right now.  We thank the brave men and women out there fighting these fires working to save so many lives, too,” said Ms. Rahman.  Shaana Rahman, principal and founder of Rahman Law PC, is a member and long-time sponsor of the Marin County Bicycle Coalition, sharing in their mission “to promote safe bicycling for everyday transportation and recreation,” as well as promote advocacy and “give cyclists a voice.”  The Marin County Bicycle Coalition is also on a mission to build the bicycle community, which they do through events like Biketoberfest Marin.

Biketoberfest attracts mountain bikers (Fairfax, CA is regarded as the birthplace of the mountain bike), road cyclists, BMX riders, commuter cyclists, as well as fixie and cyclocross riders, just to name a few.  Many cyclists are curious about their rights as a person who bikes and are eager to ask a bicycle accident attorney.  Common questions from the cycling community include: what to do if you have a collision or incident on the road; how to talk to the police and lawyer; and what the options are for personal insurance coverage for people who bike.

During Biketoberfest Marin, Ms. Rahman and her team planned to engage participants in safety games and broadcast messages about why they love to ride using Facebook Live on the Rahman Law PC Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/RahmanLawSF).  Rahman Law PC’s Facebook page is a place for free tips about cycling rights, pedestrian rights, safety, and information about the advocacy work and speaking engagements of the bicycle accident attorneys of Rahman Law PC.  It is also a place to find out about future workshops on learning about your rights as a person who bikes.  The last “Know Your Rights” workshop Ms. Rahman gave was in conjunction with the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition on October 5th for Women Bike SF.
