If you have been injured by another vehicle while riding a bicycle in Hawaii, you are entitled to the same legal rights as other vehicle operators. Most drivers in Hawaii drive with Aloha, but unfortunately, some can treat bicyclists with little respect. This wanton disregard for the safety of others may cause serious accidents. It’s not uncommon for bicyclists to ride along the Queen Kaahumanu Highway on the Big Island due to its wonderful scenery. Drivers need to be aware of bicyclists on…

Konawaena translates into “Middle Kona”. I feel like Konawaena is the heart of Kona. Since it is the center of…
