^^^ It should be noted that bikes do have a slightly different status than the car as they are generally allowed to ride between lanes of traffic and parked cars which motorized vehicles are not.

I've actually seen a bike get pulled over before, but it was a stupid hipster who almost hit a car cause he was riding on the sidewalk and ignored the orange hand symbol. It was a bike cop that pulled him over. In general it is the bike cops who will enforce on your ass if you are on a bike, I am sure to follow all traffic laws when I see them.

In Chicago its actually law that you must have identification on you when riding a bike on city streets. So you kinda have to have an ID or a Drivers License here in Chicago.
