Bicyclias like motorista, are creatures of habit and only reluctantly give up tho se cool, relaing summner evenings of fun. However, as-the days grow shorter, cycling at night oen become dangerous if you're not aware of the potential hazards. One of the most common mistakes bicyclists make when riding at night is to assume that motorists can see them. They usuaily can't, or at least, don't. And although they usually have, less than perfect vision, it's'not always the moterist's fault. At twilight and after dark, a bicyclist wearing dark-coloured clothing and riding without a front headlight or rear reflector is almost invisible, te -the average mtrist, even on well' lit streets. Police accident reporte indicate that many motoriste; fail te see bicycles on clear, siknny days"when visibility ia goo.d. At night, bicycliste often comnpound their own risk by riding on the wrong side-of the street and going through stop signs or red lights., Safe night cycing requires that you make yourself visible te lnotorists. By law, your bicycle must have a white or amber front light and a red rear light reflector wh'en you ride a haîf hour before sunset or a haîf hour after sunrise. The front forks must also have white relective tape 250 millimetres by 25 millimetres (10 inches by one inch). Bright yellow or white clothing also helpa, as does reflective material on, your helmet. Pay attention -te nearby vehicles. Motorisesoften have trouble estimating the spee4 and distance of small objecta. No matte how visible you think you are, assume that the moterist bas not seen you.
