Riding at night

Lights on.

4 min read

At night, drivers need to see you from a distance. Lights and reflectors make a big difference.

Be visible

  • A white front light and a red rear light
  • Reflectors on pedals and wheels
  • Reflective clothing or bands on ankles
  • Charge lights before you head out
  • Slow down; potholes are harder to see

Most states require a white front light at night, and many require a red rear light or reflector. Check your state's rules. Sunny Birch Daily isn't paid by any bike brand or shop.
