Be bright, be seen when cycling
In winter, keep an eye out for our Be Bright pit stops - we’ll make sure you're bright enough!
Lights and reflectors help you be seen. This is important when on a bike anytime, but especially in winter, at night, when it’s raining, foggy or on low light days.
All bikes are required by law to have a red or yellow reflector facing backwards at all times.
When cycling at night or when visibility is poor, you’re also required to have:
- One or two yellow or white front lights* that can be seen from 200m away. Only one front light may flash
- At least one rear light* (must be red). Any rear light may flash
- Yellow pedal reflectors on the front and back of each pedal.
*Your lights must not dazzle, confuse or distract others.
High-vis backpack covers and vests with reflective strips create eye catching movement. Make sure the lights and reflectors can be seen clearly and aren't accidently covered by bags or jackets.
