Riding a bicycle at night is many times more dangerous than riding during the day. A
bicyclist is very difficult for motorists and pedestrians to see.
WARNING: Reflectors are not a substitute for required lights. Riding at dawn,
at dusk, at night or at other times of poor visibility without an adequate
bicycle lighting system and without reflectors is dangerous and may result in
serious injury.
Bicycle reflectors are designed to pick up and reflect street lights and car lights in a
way that may help you to be seen and recognized as a moving bicyclist.
CAUTION: Check reflectors and their mounting brackets regularly to make sure
that they are clean, straight, unbroken and securely mounted.
