Racing Your Bicycle

Chapter 7

New!

From: Every Cyclist’s Guide to Canadian Law

$4.60

In Racing Your Bicycle Waters examines competitive cycling in Canada and how its body of regulations straddles both private and public law. While the regulations adopted by private cycling associations make up the bulk of the rules governing the sport, Canadian statutory law and judicial authorities are also involved in regulating some aspects of the sport of cycling. This chapter provides an overview on topics such as autonomous self-regulation of cycling by national and international sport associations, Canada’s laws and judicial regulations on competitive cyclists and their sport, private regulations and licenses, the rules of play, anti-doping regulations, state-created laws and regulations such as tort law, criminal law, and family law.
