Stay Seen, Stay Safe
When you're biking, being visible can literally save your life. Drivers and pedestrians need to see you clearly, especially in low-light conditions or busy streets. The easiest way to do this? Wear bright clothing, use reflective gear, and light up your ride.
Why Visibility Matters:
-
Avoid Accidents: Bright colors and lights help drivers spot you faster, giving them more time to react.
-
Stay on Their Radar: The more visible you are, the safer your interactions with cars, pedestrians, and other cyclists.
-
Nighttime Safety: Reflective gear is a must when riding at dusk or after dark.
-
Ride with Confidence: Knowing you're seen helps you focus on the ride instead of worrying about traffic.
How to Stand Out on the Road:
-
Wear Bright Colors: Neon yellow, orange, or pink make you pop.
-
Go Reflective: Add strips to your clothes, bike, and helmet for extra visibility.
-
Light It Up: Always use front and rear bike lights in low-light conditions.
-
Ride Smart: Follow traffic laws and use hand signals to make your moves clear.
Bottom line: The more visible you are, the safer (and more confident) you’ll be on the road. Make yourself impossible to miss!
