I understand that a court case of 1879 decided that cycles had/have full rights to use the whole lane, which was later enshrined in the Road Traffic Act of 1888.
Can anyone tell me what that case was called?

You already had the date so the key words were:

[I]'1879 court case cycle rights'[/I]

The top four or five hit all contained references to the Taylor v Goodwin case.

I'm not exactly a Boolean wizard...
