Got Lights? WABA does!

image(Washington, DC) Just in time with daylight savings, the Washington Area Bicyclist Association (WABA) has launched its Got Lights? program in partnership with the District Department of Transportation, the City of Alexandria, and Fairfax Advocates for Better Bicycling.

The Got Lights campaign is a joint safety and educational campaign aiming to raise awareness of the importance of cyclists being seen at dusk, dawn, and night. In an effort to ensure bicyclists are seen, WABA is handing out 800 free bike lights to bicyclists, as well as other bicycle safety literature, in three different DC locations. The campaign will extend only until November 8th, but the message of “Be safe and be seen” will continue to linger in WABA’s ongoing efforts and events. 
To get your free lights and to find out more about the “Got Lights?” campaign, visit WABA’s website at http://www.waba.org/events/gotlights.php

LACBC Lights Up LA

LACBC LogoAccording to the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition (LACBC), “LACBC has worked steadily to increase bike safety among low-income cyclists at the Carecen Day Labor center in Macarthur Park. We have distributed over 100 front and rear bike lights, taught 2 bilingual bike safety workshops and will be hosting bilingual bike maintenance workshops in July and August.  We plan to host bike rides and other events for the summer, in the hopes of expanding to another day labor center.
