Don’t get caught in the dark!

As the days grow shorter and darkness arrives earlier each evening, now is the perfect time to upgrade your bike lighting setup. Fall brings not only beautiful foliage but also reduced visibility during typical commute hours, making a reliable light system essential for safe cycling. Whether you’re riding home from school in the twilight or enjoying an early morning weekend ride, a quality front and rear light can make the difference between being seen and being invisible to motorists.

We have great lights from Cygolite, Planet Bike, and CatEye that will get you to your destination and home again safely and reliably.

Look for lights with at least 200-300 lumens for city riding with street lighting, or 800+ lumens if you’re tackling unlit roads or trails. Rechargeable USB lights have come a long way in recent years, offering impressive run times and brightness levels that rival traditional battery-powered options while being more economical and environmentally friendly over time.
