If you choose to ride under conditions of poor visibility, check and be sure
you comply with all local laws about night riding, and take the following
strongly recommended additional precautions:
• Purchase and install battery or generator powered head and tail lights
which meet all regulatory requirements and provide adequate visibility.
• Wear light colored, reective clothing and accessories, such as a
reective vest, reective arm and leg bands, reective stripes on your
helmet, ashing lights attached to your body and/or your bicycle ... any
reective device or light source that moves will help you get the attention of
approaching motorists, pedestrians and other trafc.
• Make sure your clothing or anything you may be carrying on the bicycle
does not obstruct a reector or light.
• Make sure that your bicycle is equipped with correctly positioned and
securely mounted reectors.
While riding at dawn, at dusk or at night:
• Ride slowly.
Avoid dark areas and areas of heavy or fast-moving trafc.
Avoid road hazards.
• If possible, ride on familiar routes.
If riding in trafc:
• Be predictable. Ride so that drivers can see you and predict your
movements.
• Be alert. Ride defensively and expect the unexpected.
• If you plan to ride in trafc often, ask your dealer about trafc safety
classes or a good book on bicycle trafc safety.
equipment which helps reduce that risk. Consult your dealer about night
riding safety equipment.
WARNING: Reectors are not a substitute for required lights.
Riding at dawn, at dusk, at night or at other times of poor
visibility without an adequate bicycle lighting system and
without reectors is dangerous and may result in serious injury
or death.
Bicycle reectors are designed to pick up and reect car lights and street
lights in a way that may help you to be seen and recognized as a moving
bicyclist.
CAUTION: Check reectors and their mounting brackets
regularly to make sure that they are clean, straight, unbroken
and securely mounted. Have your dealer replace damaged
reectors and straighten or tighten any that are bent or loose.
The mounting brackets of front and rear reectors are often designed as
brake straddle cable safety catches which prevent the straddle cable from
catching on the tire tread if the cable jumps out of its yoke or breaks.
WARNING: Do not remove the front or rear reectors or
reector brackets from your bicycle. They are an integral part
of the bicycle’s safety system. Removing the reectors reduces
your visibility to others using the roadway. Being struck by
other vehicles may result in serious injury or death.
The reector brackets may protect you from a brake straddle
cable catching on the tire in the event of brake cable failure. If
a brake straddle cable catches on the tire, it can cause the
wheel to stop suddenly, causing you to loose control and fall.
