Light it up - our top tips!
Use front and back lights if you ride between sunset and sunrise, or if visibility is poor.
If you ride at night, wear something light, bright or reflective. A backpack cover is a great option.
We recommend two lights in front and two lights rear, one steady and one flashing in each direction.
Don’t dazzle other walkers and riders – point your front light down a bit.
Bikes must have pedal reflectors, or you must wear reflective material when riding at night. Increase your side-on visibility with reflectors or lights on your spokes, and tires with reflective side walls.
