LED Safety Lights Praised For Ease, Safety, and Cost Effectiveness

Bike Safety Lights - Not Just For Night Riding

It is often assumed that bike lights are only needed for evening rides.  The San Francisco Chronicle recently published an article entitled, “Lights and reflectors are key to safety.”  Writer Renee Rivera explains that Bay area cyclists frequently use lights not only for night riding, but also during low visibility weather conditions, such as rain or fog.  These conditions are not unique to San Francisco.  

Cyclists are only increasing their level of safety by always being prepared with lights at all times.  Rivera praises the ease and cost effectiveness of using bike safety lights.

Over the past few years, bike lights have become increasingly brighter, lighter and less expensive so even if you already have an older light an upgrade might be a good idea. Lights that are either rechargeable by USB or use AA or AAA batteries are a great idea for city riding because they are usually simple to remove and take with you when you lock up your bike, thus avoiding theft. With a USB light, you will never have to worry about buying batteries, and with a replaceable battery light, you can at least run to the store for extras if you run out of juice. It is also a good idea to carry an extra light set so you can still get home safely if one beacon goes out.

However, cycling is not the only activity affected by weather conditions. There are numerous professions which require employees to work outside in both rainy and foggy conditions, such as construction workers and mail carriers.  

And let's not forget all the faithful pet owners whose pets need that daily walk! Not only that, but there are many athletes who still get their daily run in regardless of the weather. What do these people from all walks of life have in common? The need to be seen. Their safety is dependent upon whether or not they are visible in such conditions that often cause poor visibility.
