This Illinois statute claims you can’t even pass cars on the right unless your sharrows/bike lane is 8+ feet wide.

625 ILCS 5/11-704. When overtaking on the right is permitted

Sec. 11-704. When overtaking on the right is permitted.

(b) The driver of a 2 wheeled vehicle may not pass upon the right of
any other vehicle proceeding in the same direction unless the unobstructed
pavement to the right of the vehicle being passed is of a width of not less than
8 feet.
