🚴♂️ Know the rules. Stay protected.
Illinois law expects bicyclists to follow the same rules as drivers and take extra precautions on the road.
Key safety requirements include:
🔹 Front light (visible 500 ft)
🔹 Rear reflector (100–600 ft visibility)
🔹 Working brakes & properly adjusted bike
🔹 Reflectors, bell/horn, and secure handlebars
⚖️ If an accident happens, liability may be shared under Illinois’ “51% rule,” meaning your compensation can be reduced based on your level of fault.
