Join Us for a Bike Light and Bike Bell Giveaway!

As we move into fall, there are fewer hours of daylight and if you’re biking, bike lights can help you see the street and be seen by people walking and driving.
In fact, California Vehicle Code (CVC) 21200 requires people who bike to use a white headlight, rear red reflector, and side reflectors. However, we strongly recommend using rear red lights, especially when riding when it’s dark.

Don’t have bike lights? We’ll give you some!Join us for a bike light and bike bell giveaway at Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates (SABA) Bike Valet at Golden 1!
