PART II

RIDING AT NIGHT, DUSK, DAWN

WARNING

RIDING AT NIGHT/DUSK OR AT DAWN IS VERY

HAZARDOUS.

Avoid riding at night. If you choose to ride at

night:

■ Install front and rear lights.

■ Install a blinker or strobe light.

■ Check your state or national laws. Lights

are required for riding at dusk, night, or

dawn.

■ Wear reﬂective clothing.

■ Stay alert, others may not see you.

■ Make sure your bicycle is equipped with

all required reﬂectors, lights, strobes, or

blinkers.

Required Reﬂectors

The location and type of each reﬂector on

your bike is required by a national authority,

in the US, the US Consumer Product Safety

Commission (CPSC). Your Cannondale bike must

be delivered with: 1. A front mounted forward

facing reﬂector 2. A rear mounted, rear facing

reﬂector, 3. A spoke mounted reﬂector on each

wheel, 4. Front and rear facing reﬂectors on the

left and right pedal. DO NOT REMOVE, BLOCK,

OR COVER REFLECTORS.

Much Higher Risks At Night

The risk of an accident, particularly being struck

by a motor vehicle, is much higher at night. If

you choose to accept this higher risk, improve

your odds with a proper lighting system, strobe

light, light colored reﬂective clothing and careful

riding. Seek the advice of an experienced bicycle

commuter at your retailer.

Mountain Biking At Night:

Mountain biking at night is risky. Take the

challenges outlined in SECTION C. and add

another level of diculty and risk. Seeing the

terrain is much more dicult at night. Mountain

biking at night is only for skilled mountain bikers,

on familiar terrain, with excellent light systems,

riding with other skilled mountain bikers, and

riding cautiously.

Adding Lighting:

Reﬂectors are not a substitute for proper lights. It

is your responsibility to equip your bicycle with all

national, state and locally mandated lights.

Riding at dawn, at dusk, at night or at other times

of poor visibility without a bicycle lighting system

which meets local and state laws and without

reﬂectors is dangerous and may result in serious

injury or death.

If you ride your bike before dawn or after dusk,

your bicycle must be equipped with lights so that

you can see the road and avoid road hazards,

and so that others can see you. Trac laws treat

bicycles like any other vehicle. That means you

must have a white front and a red rear light

operating if you are riding after dusk. Your bike

dealer can recommend a battery or generator

powered lighting system appropriate to your

needs.

Flashing (blinker) and Strobe Lighting

We also strongly urges you to use a ﬂashing light

or strobe. All of us at who ride at night or in

conditions of lower visibility use ﬂashers. They can

save your life. (Yeah, we know there may be legal

issues with ﬂashers in some areas. They can save

your life. Enough said.)
