Ep. 128 Megan Hottman: The Cyclist Lawyer on “The Engine Inside” Film, A Crazy World Record, Bike Safety/Infrastructure/Advocacy, Track Cycling, Believing in Ourselves, and More

THE TRAVIS MACY SHOW

Megan Hottman earned her B.A. in Corporate Communications, magna cum laude, and her Juris Doctorate, both from Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska. After law school, she accepted two consecutive judicial clerkships; one in Jackson County Circuit Court in Kansas City, Missouri and one in Jefferson County District Court in Golden, Colorado.
At the age of 29, she did what people told her was not possible - she hung her own shingle and formed Hottman Law Office (HLO), aka "TheCyclist-Lawyer.com." This practice, she says, "is the perfect combination of passion and profession - love of cycling and legal education culminated in this practice; I'm doing what I was meant to do." In 2012, she turned her attention to building up her practice, focusing exclusively on cycling law.

Hottman has represented over 160 cyclists in their individual cases, as well as provided counsel to other lawyers, to cycling groups, bike shops, and organizations.

In addition to representing her own clients, she has been endorsed as a cycling expert by other lawyers. She is known by Colorado cyclists as well as her fellow attorneys as THE go-to lawyer for anything cycling-related. She handles cases in all 50 states, and is licensed in Missouri, Colorado, Arizona and Nebraska. She provides frequent legal education seminars on biking laws, trends she sees in her cases and those nationwide, and education to both novice and veteran riders alike. She also provides educational and training opportunities to law enforcement officers.

In March 2015, Hottman and her practice were featured in an article titled "Broken Spokes" in Outside Magazine. A few months later, she was also featured on HBO Real Sports, in a "Bike Wars" episode. In 2019, she led a group of 24 cyclists in breaking the World Record for the Longest Static Cycling class (28 hours!).
