I'll be giving a presentation and answering questions about bicycling and the law at the upcoming Arlington Heights Bicycle Club meeting. The meeting will be held on May 27, 2009 at 7:30 pm at 500 E. Miner Avenue (Recreation Park) in Arlington Heights. In anticipation of my presentation I thought it appropriate to examine the local law relating to the use and operation of bicycles.

Thanks to the Chicago Cycling Club for giving me an opportunity to educate cyclists about important safety and legal issues affecting cyclists. On February 10, 2009, I spoke on the topic of bicycles and the law at the REI located at 1466 N. Halsted. The presentation addressed the laws that apply to bicycles, insurance considerations for cyclists, typical types of accidents, common injuries and what to do after an accident.
