Be Safe -Please ride with care during these winter months… The days are now very short!
- Wear bright clothes. It’s almost impossible to see you if you’re wearing dark colors during overcast days and evenings.
- Make sure you Use lights – even mid-day is recommended to be seen. If you don’t know what to buy or use, write us at info@walkbikecupertino.org – or check out our local bike shops at this partnership link.

- Buy a Rear-view mirror that mounts on your glasses, handle bars or helmet. Once you have one, you won’t leave home without it – you’ll find comfort in knowing what’s behind you…. See Best Bicycle Mirrors Review
