About BikeSafetyQuiz
BikeSafetyQuiz is a first-of-its-kind resource developed by Ride Illinois that teaches adults, children, motorists, and truck drivers how to share the road safely. The interactive quizzes cover safety techniques and relevant state laws using images and short explanations for each answer. The quiz is the teaching tool!
Each quiz includes thought-provoking questions for three different audiences:
Child Bicyclist: students in grades 4-8 and younger students with adult assistance.
Adult Bicyclist: for teens and adults
Motorist/Drivers Ed: for motorists and driver’s education students
Also available: E-Bike Smart Quiz which was developed by League of American Bicyclists and PeopleForBikes – two Ride Illinois partners at the national level.

BikeSafetyQuiz Details
-
Ride Illinois works to increase safe interactions – and reduce resentment – between motorists and bicyclists. There are serious public education gaps on bicycling safely and on driving in the presence of cyclists. In-depth courses about cycling are limited in reach given the time and resources needed to participate.
By taking a “Some (info) to lots (of people)” approach, the quiz is helping to share bike safety information with more people. Since the launch in 2013, more than 600,000 quizzes have been completed!
-
The quiz is not just for individuals wishing to test and grow their knowledge. Schools, after-school programs, scouts, driver’s education instructors, businesses, and community organizations can share it with others. Communities and police departments can also use the quiz for public education and constructive enforcement.
Partnerships are critical to spreading the reach of BikeSafetyQuiz. There are many ways one can incentivize adults and children to take BikeSafetyQuiz! Get creative and help Ride Illinois spread the word about this useful teaching aid.
