Bike riders in dark clothing on dark, tree-lined streets can make driving home from work a terrifying experience for fear of hitting a bike rider.
Bikes and their riders need reflective gear and lights. One little bike light does little to warn car drivers: it can look like a yard light, a flashlight, or a reflection. Bikes need bright headlights, blinking or continuous strobe rear lights, and lights that revolve with the tires. Riders need reflective backpack covers, reflective vests or armbands.
View all these and more at Amazon; buy where you will.
