don't be a bike ninja

Do you ride your bike at night?  If you do, or you're thinking about trying it, do you have lights?  At night, bicyclists must use a front white headlight and rear red reflector or red light.

Getting familiar with laws and safe practices is a smart way to help prevent crashes and injuries.

Under Chicago law: 9-52-080 At night, bicyclists must use a front white headlight and rear red reflector or red light.

This page is a good resource for Chicago and Illinois laws regarding biking.

Here's a good perspective on visibility at night.



Wishing you safe travels.
