Bike Lawyer Bruce Deming Competes in 24 Hour Solo World Championships

Bike Lawyer Bruce Deming

We were talking to bike lawyer Bruce Deming recently and he casually mentioned that he had just returned from participating in the 24 Hour Solo World Championships in Italy June 2 & 3. Bruce placed 2nd in his age category, Mens 60-64. Congratulations Bruce!

You will recall that the former program manager for Bike Arlington, Chris Eatough, holds the record for winning six 24-hour solo world championships, an amazing accomplishment. Chris also won two 24-hour solo NORBA national championships. It's hard to imagine what it must take to compete in such a race.

In 2013 Bruce attended a monthly FABB meeting to discuss his work and his book Surviving the Crash: Your Rights in a Bike Accident. See our other coverage of Bruce in previous blog posts.

Recently Bruce worked with WABA to support their contributory negligence campaign, providing pro-bono legal assistance. For that work he received WABA's Vision Zero Award in 2015. Virginia is now only one of four states with contributory negligence laws. We think it's time for a change.
