Bicycle Safety

Bicycling is a fun and healthy exercise. Before riding your
bicycle on roadways, take time to learn the rules. Many
bicyclists are seriously injured in accidents because they
are less protected than drivers of automobiles and/or they
do not practice safe riding skills.

By observing Illinois bicycle laws and following safety
rules, your bicycling will be enjoyable and more
importantly, safer!

Some local governments have additional laws and
regulations for bicycles. Please make sure you check with
your local goverment office to see if there are additional
laws and regulations you have to follow.
