Virginia Tech’s Helmet Lab just recently released its first set of safety ratings for bicycle helmets, and everyone should go take a look. Riders are constantly vigilant in looking out for their safety, so it’s surprising that it took this long to get a comprehensive look at what helmets are safe and why.
My recent letter to the editor of the Sun Sentinel addressed the lack of safety concerns for pedestrians, cyclists, and even motorists on Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

So one day after work you purchased a commuter bicycle from the local bike shop and decided to take it for a spin around the neighborhood just as the sun is going down.

In either instance, you’d be breaking the law in Florida.
Time and time again, my father is always giving me some ‘secret’ information on something and he always prefaces it, in his thick Greek accent, with, “this is attorney client confidentiality.” I gave up years ago trying to explain how it wasn’t, partly because he didn’t care and partly because I wanted to hear this morsel of information. But it comes up often in my daily interactions, either as a result of my practice or in day-to-day life, that questions about confidentiality and privilege regarding attorney-client communications are raised.
