Risk Warning
Some forms of cycling are dangerous.
An ave of 36 Australian
cyclists have been killed annually since 2000.
95% of these fatalities occur on the road.
Other cyclists in Australia break bones and incur nerve
impairment from falling off their bikes in accidents. A
cyclist could fall from his/her bike,
inter alia, due to - (i) being
hit by a car or another cyclist; or (ii)
encountering a pothole; (iii) cycling too fast on
a wet downhill where the
coefficient of friction is much less, particularly at corners; or
(iv) getting their bicycle wheel caught in a gap
in a timber bridge.
A
negligent cyclist could -
(a)
be litigated by a seriously injured cyclist, or 3rd party (ie. a woman
pushing a pram on a footpath or a car driver) under common law where the
damages could exceed $500,000; and
(b)
lose his/her home if he/she did not have public liability insurance
which covers their negligence whilst on a push bike.
A
negligent cyclist who did not have personal injury insurance (ie
self-employed without income protection cover) could struggle to meet
regular outgo commitments.
A
seriously injured cyclist could be awarded damages which a negligent
cyclist could not afford to pay if the negligent cyclist -
(I) did not have public liability insurance cover; and/or
(II) did not possess valuable assets.
Ø
Cycling without Public Liability cover is as silly
as driving without 3rd Party -
join Bicycle NSW for PL insurance, so that all
Muggs
are better protected
Ø
Click on:
Risk
Management
which warns of 'inter alia', the dangers of cycling on public
roads with motor cars,
potholes
and over bridges with vertical timber planks with gaps
Ø
Cycling with
Muggs is predicated upon notifying
Bank
Teller if you materially disagree with
any clause(s) in Muggaccinos'
