The safety of ride participants is of primary importance. Routes are on public roads and must be shared with motor vehicles. We believe cyclists deserve to share the road, showing courtesy to motorists and other cyclists. The Joliet Bicycle Club strongly recommends wearing approved bicycle helmets. All bicyclists are expected to obey the Illinois Rules of the Road as they apply to cyclists. The Joliet Bicycle Club and Event Organizers support and encourage the efforts and actions of law enforcement agencies.
