People always ask me how a lawyer got into bicycle law. I try to explain that it is the other way around: How did a cyclist get into law school?

I have the good fortune to be able to do work I love, with and for people I care about, and on issues that matter to me personally.

I have ridden my bicycle for fun, and as a competitive cyclist since I was a child. It is my goal to keep it up until my last days.

My work and my riding and my volunteer work are hopefully interconnected by a goal to achieve something bigger, to improve our world, maybe not in huge geopolitical ways, but in small individual ways which together with other people and the good work they do will ultimately add up to those big geopolitical changes that are so desperately needed in the world. Now that I have a child, these issues are even more pressing on a very personal level.

As an attorney I am fortunate to have a set of tools in the law that are not as available to non-lawyers. I try to use those tools and that system to bring about the changes that I believe are proper, needed and that we are almost, almost, ready to accept.

Thanks Mark! You're a real asset to the cycling community and we're lucky to have you.
