About Ken

Ken Knabe is the Principal Attorney of Knabe Law Firm and Greater Cleveland’s Bicycle Attorney. A Cleveland native, he has over 40 years of experience serving his community as both a prosecutor and civil litigator. An avid cyclist, Ken is a former co-chair of a Vision Zero Cleveland Sub-committee, serves on the boards of the Ohio Bicycle Federation and the Ohio to Erie Trail and is a regular expert legal contributor for Bike Cleveland. Ken strengthens the local cycling community and its advocacy efforts through sponsorship of organizations like Bike Cleveland and several local area clubs and teams. Ken is a top-rated 2025 Super Lawyer and has the highest possible peer rating from Martindale-Hubbell. He is a former President of the Cleveland Academy of Trial Attorneys. His expertise has been featured on Cleveland.com, WCPN Ideastream, the Cleveland Law Library, Cleveland Public Library, Lakewood Public Library, The Lakewood Observer, The Columbus Dispatch, and Cincinnati.com. His personalized, hardworking, and professional approach is specifically geared to addressing the nuances at play when bike crashes are involved. Ken logs over 5,000 miles a year on his bike, and he has devoted his career to helping people injured or killed on our roads. Ken’s background as a trial attorney coupled with his passion for riding makes him uniquely qualified to handle your bike case. He has helped hundreds of cyclists and pedestrians in his career, making his experience unique in Northeast Ohio. He teaches bike injury law to other lawyers in kindred organizations like the Ohio Association for Justice (OAJ) and Cleveland Academy of Trial Attorneys (CATA-former President). He has extensive trial experience, having tried over a hundred cases in northern Ohio where he was born and raised. He’s been a trial and personal injury lawyer for almost as many years as he’s been a cyclist. He has decades of experience and knows the ins and outs of Greater Cleveland courtrooms and the legal system as well as he knows the bike lanes, all-purpose trails, and roads in our city. He has represented injured cyclists in many Greater Cleveland localities with proven results reflected by all 5-star reviews and 5-star ratings on Google. By limiting his practice to serious bike crashes in our area, he can give full individual attention to cyclists who really need his help, starting with free parking and a free consultation. Hopefully we never have to meet in a professional capacity but if you, or someone you hold dear is seriously injured or worse in a bike accident, his firm is ready, willing, and able to help get you the recovery and fair compensation needed to be made whole again.
