On Monday, May 29, the Illinois Senate unanimously passed HB1784 and Ride Illinois' bicycle traffic safety bill is now headed to Governor Rauner's desk.

HB1784 would legalize and clarify three common practices:

  • Allow motorists to pass bikes in a no-passing zone under certain conditions to improve cyclist safety.
  • Officially legalize bicycling on road shoulders, but not require it.
  • Allow bicyclists to use a rear light instead of or in addition to a rear reflector.
We need your help for this final push to ask Governor Rauner to sign the bill into law. Please take a minute to ask Governor Rauner to sign the bill here:
