Now that we’ve moved into the darker part of the year, the subject of visibility becomes very important. To drive home that point, below is an incredibly cheesy takeoff on an already cheesy 1981 hit, brought to you in part by the folks who made this previously referenced video.
On that note, stay tuned for the full details later this week, but note this date: Saturday December 6 at 5:30pm. Strap your lights to your bike and join Savannah Bicycle Campaign in the last Wheelie of the year for the River Street Christmas Parade. Lights and a helmet will be required, and, here’s the best part: the best holiday themed rider/bike costume setup wins a new cruiser from Quality Bike Shop. More to follow soon.
The bottom line is that you are at much greater risk of being struck by a car without lights at night. Georgia law requires at minimum a white headlight and a rear red reflector, though a white headlight with a rear red light is better. We even know a few folks who have been ticketed in Savannah for riding without a headlight, so keep that in mind if the risk of serious bodily injury is not enough to sway you.
