Night riding: It is especially important to use bright, powered lights on the rear and front of the bicycle when the surrounding environment has no lighting. Hard "cat-eye" reflectors are superior to fabric or tape reflectors. Attach them to pedals, and to the helmet, pannier racks, backpack, forks, and handlebars. The more brightly lit, the better. ^{kellyjones00 (593)}
