What if every major online retailer had an option to donate towards a light fund? I'd donate $ every time I made a purchase.What if every LBS had an option to donate towards a light fund? I'd donate $ every time I made a purchase.
What about you?
Most of them would still fail to use them. One guy I ride with carries some freebie blinkies that Biketexas gives out. Cheap but highly visible red and white blinkies that simply attach anywhere with elastic. He offered a set to a teenager we encountered on a night ride. The young man refused them.
Ongoing education of the more casual cyclists is needed. On this issue as well as obeying traffic laws and riding safely.
