- shrx 6mo agoCan you list some examples? When I lived in Chicago it was quite common for cyclists to shout this on the long lakefront trail, I wonder if that's the case there too.
- qwhelan 6mo agoI've never ridden in Illinois, but yeah: > § 11-1512. Bicycles on sidewalks. (a) A person propelling a bicycle upon and along a sidewalk, or across a roadway upon and along a crosswalk, shall yield the right of way to any pedestrian and shall give audible signal before overtaking and passing such pedestrian. https://codes.findlaw.com/il/chapter-625-vehicles/il-st-sect-625-5-11-1512/ https://codes.findlaw.com/il/chapter-625-vehicles/il-st-sect... No idea if the lakefront trail is classified as a sidewalk but there are at least some cases in Illinois where either a bell or a "on your left" are legally mandatory.
