We are advocates for cyclists and the sport of cycling throughout Utah, and regularly sponsor events and support efforts to improve cycling and promote safe sharing of the road throughout the state.

In Salt Lake City and throughout Utah, your bike is considered a vehicle, and you have the same rights as the operator of any other vehicle on the road. If the operator of an automobile does not give you the same respect as if you were in a car and causes a bike crash, they may be held liable for damages you incur as a result. A Lance Bingham Law bike accident lawyer in Utah is here to help you every step of the way.
