Night Cycling Tips

Light up the night

If you’re cycling, “be outrageous with lights,” Currie Gillespie suggests. It is essential to have at least one flashing red light on the back and one flashing white light on the front; he uses three on the back, two on the front and frog lights on his hubs, and wears reflective clothing.

Map your run

Using a GPS system, it not only tracks your pace and distance, it keeps tabs on your precise whereabouts in real time with an option of giving family or friends a password so they can log in and identify where you are at any given moment. Or do it the old-fashioned way and tell someone else your planned route and the time you expect to return home.

Turn off the tunes

Cycling with headphones on is an absolute no-no, and the same goes for running at night. “At night your perception is already off, and music disturbs your sense of balance even more. It’s not safe.”

Obey the rules

Follow basic traffic rules and don’t run a light just because you think no one can see you. You should be just as cautious when you have the right of way, particularly if you’re in a province where vehicles can make a right turn on a red light.

There’s an ethics committee that ensures cyclist obey the rules. “We watch for that. You’re representing the club and it looks bad,As a biking community, you all get lumped together.

Carry ID

Buy an ID tag for your shoes, sew one into your clothes or just write your name, address and phone number on a small piece of paper and put it somewhere in your shorts or jacket pocket so that if something does happen, emergency officials can identify you, also carrying a little bit of money in case you get a minor injury and have to make it back home.
