There were over 800 cycling deaths nationwide in 2006. Roughly half of those accidents took place between 6pm and 6am.

This year, do all you can to cut down on these tragedies and get lights for your bike! It’s actually illegal to ride at night without a white headlight and a rear reflector for your bike in Pennsylvania. It’s a good idea to have a rear blinky as well. Although reflectors do a pretty good job of making you seen, there are some issues with only sporting reflectors alone. Read all about these issues from the guru of cycling, Sheldon Brown.

So stay safe out there. Believe me, if you don’t have lights or reflectors on, motorists cannot see you and you are MUCH more likely to suffer the consequences.
