PART II
RIDING AT NIGHT, DUSK, DAWN
WARNING
RIDING AT NIGHT/DUSK OR AT DAWN IS VERY
HAZARDOUS.
Avoid riding at night. If you choose to ride at
night:
Install front and rear lights.
Install a blinker or strobe light.
Check your state or national laws. Lights
are required for riding at dusk, night, or
dawn.
Wear reflective clothing.
Stay alert, others may not see you.
Make sure your bicycle is equipped with
all required reflectors, lights, strobes, or
blinkers.
Required Reflectors
The location and type of each reflector on
your bike is required by a national authority,
in the US, the US Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC). Your Cannondale bike must
be delivered with: 1. A front mounted forward
facing reflector 2. A rear mounted, rear facing
reflector, 3. A spoke mounted reflector on each
wheel, 4. Front and rear facing reflectors on the
left and right pedal. DO NOT REMOVE, BLOCK,
OR COVER REFLECTORS.
Much Higher Risks At Night
The risk of an accident, particularly being struck
by a motor vehicle, is much higher at night. If
you choose to accept this higher risk, improve
your odds with a proper lighting system, strobe
light, light colored reflective clothing and careful
riding. Seek the advice of an experienced bicycle
commuter at your retailer.
Mountain Biking At Night:
Mountain biking at night is risky. Take the
challenges outlined in SECTION C. and add
another level of diculty and risk. Seeing the
terrain is much more dicult at night. Mountain
biking at night is only for skilled mountain bikers,
on familiar terrain, with excellent light systems,
riding with other skilled mountain bikers, and
riding cautiously.
Adding Lighting:
Reflectors are not a substitute for proper lights. It
is your responsibility to equip your bicycle with all
national, state and locally mandated lights.
Riding at dawn, at dusk, at night or at other times
of poor visibility without a bicycle lighting system
which meets local and state laws and without
reflectors is dangerous and may result in serious
injury or death.
If you ride your bike before dawn or after dusk,
your bicycle must be equipped with lights so that
you can see the road and avoid road hazards,
and so that others can see you. Trac laws treat
bicycles like any other vehicle. That means you
must have a white front and a red rear light
operating if you are riding after dusk. Your bike
dealer can recommend a battery or generator
powered lighting system appropriate to your
needs.
Flashing (blinker) and Strobe Lighting
We also strongly urges you to use a flashing light
or strobe. All of us at who ride at night or in
conditions of lower visibility use flashers. They can
save your life. (Yeah, we know there may be legal
issues with flashers in some areas. They can save
your life. Enough said.)
