So as you find yourself riding your bike more and more, you're also going to find yourself
riding your bike at night. There's a few things that you want to have to prepare for that.
The most important thing is to stay visible to cars as well as pedestrians. Two things
that you always want to have on you is a front and rear light. The rear light can attach
to both your bike as well as yourself. It's very, very visible and you can be seen for
blocks and blocks with it. The front light mounts to your handle bars. It indicates the
pedestrians as well as cars that you're coming and it's a great idea. Both front and rear
lights are required by law in New York City.
Another good tip for staying visible in New York at night is having a white helmet. White
helmets are going to be far more visible than darker helmets. White helmets reflect headlights
and street lights really well and keep you visible.
And those are some tips for riding at night.
