Night riding
Cyclists should ride at night with extreme caution. In many circumstances,
night riding can be more risky than day riding since it is exceedingly
challenging for drivers and pedestrians to spot bicyclists in the dark.
Individuals of an appropriate age who are aware of the increased risks
should take extra care when riding at drawn, dusk or at night. Please not
that it is important to choose suitable apparel and specialized equipment
when riding in unfavoureable conditions to reduce the risk of injury.
Warning! Reflectors should not worn as a substitute for required lighting.
Cyclists are near to invisible for other cyclists and motorists if the
necessary lights and reflective gear are not used. Take all necessary
efforts to make yourself visible if you are riding at night by using lights and
reflectors. Inadequate lighting precautions could cause fatalities or
significant injuries. Reflectors are intended to reflect the light from passing
cars and street lights, making you more noticeable and recognisable as a
cyclist in motion.
Caution! Reflectors and their mounting brackets should be checked
regularly to ensure they are clean, straight and securely mounted. Check
to be sure you comply with all local laws about night riding. The followings
are recommended:
It is important you take steps to enhance your visibility by wearing
light-colored, reflective clothing and accessories. There are plenty of
proper reflective gear option that can be worn: Vests, armbands, leg
bands, stripes on your helmet, and blinker attached to your body and
or bicycle.
Make sure your clothing or miscellaneous items do not obstruct the
visibility of your reflectors and lights.
Make sure that your bicycle is equipped with reflectors for riding at
dawn, dusk or at night.
Always ride slowly when riding at night.

safety, performance, and comfort. Even if you have the experience, skill,

recommends having a certified, reputable bike mechanic to check your
