There are a few cycling laws all riders must follow to help ensure a safe ride:

• Ride in the same direction as traffic.
• Follow all traffic signs and signals.
• Yield to pedestrians.
• Walk bikes on sidewalks.
• Use hand signals when turning, and do not to weave in and out of traffic.
• Never ride distracted. Wearing headphones in both ears is illegal, and it’s never a good idea to use your phone while riding.

All users must be 16 years or older to ride a Divvy Bike. 

Keep in mind it's generally safest to take a route that includes a bike lane. When you map out a ride using the mobile app, we'll show you a route using bike lanes whenever possible. You can also use Google Maps​ to find bike routes using bike lanes. And there are many other resources for cyclists available online, such as this Chicago Bike Map​ of bike paths, bike lanes & greenways.

Although not required, Divvy strongly encourages all riders to wear helmets while riding.
