Be Visible at Dawn, Dusk and during Nightime

The #1 thing that drivers say when they injure a cyclist is, “I didn’t see anyone.”

How to avoid being that cyclist that wasn’t seen? Get the right safety equipment.

Here’s a list of safety equipment you should not be without, including at dawn/dusk, which is the time when most accidents are likely to happen:

• Bright colored, highly reflective clothing (not black!), such as a reflective vest
• Reflective bike strips or reflectors
• Red LED light for the back of your bike, and a white LED light for the front, turned on
• A side mirror
• A bike bell
• Optional, but useful: reflective leg straps or arm straps
