Always riding with lights is a bright idea!
Lights help you "be seen" while on the road any time of day. High-output LED lighting with rechargeable batteries makes it easy (and affordable) for everyone to have the proper lighting on their bike. Wearing the proper color clothing is important too!
Make sure you charge your lights every time before heading out, as it isn't too bright to ride with a light that has a dead battery!
