As the nights draw in the chances are you’ll be commuting in the dark.
An appropriate set of lights is essential for autumn and winter cycling. Lights that have flashing modes help make sure you stand out and will distinguish you as a cyclist to other road users. Using a second, static rear light in combination with one that flashes can also be a good idea as it helps drivers judge their distance from you.
The lights demonstrated in this video can be found on our web store.

Reflective materials on your clothing or your bike can help make you visible to other road users. Reflectives on moving parts (think legs and wheels) are a good idea too.
And remember that reflective materials only work well at night when they can reflect other beams of light. In daytime colours that contrast with the surrounding environment will help you stand out and be seen best.
