Do any special laws apply to bicyclists?
Bicycle laws vary from state to state. Some states require bicycles to stay in the designated bicycle lane, require the use of helmets, prohibit bicyclists from being intoxicated while biking, require the use of hand signals, as well as other restrictions. In some cases, if the bicyclist was in violation of any of these laws, he or she will be prohibited from receiving any compensation for their injuries.
