WABA, along with DDOT and the City of Alexandria, will be giving away free bike light sets (front and rear).\u00c2\u00a0 Why?\u00c2\u00a0 From the press release:<\/p>\n
While only three percent of bike rides happen at night, over half of all cyclists killed are hit while riding at night without lights.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
And night time is starting to coincide with commuting time.\u00c2\u00a0 If you read this and ride, I hope you already have your own light set.\u00c2\u00a0 But if you don’t – or you know someone who doesn’t – make the time to swing by one of the two giveaway locations in the next week.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s first come, first serve, until the supplies run out.<\/p>\n
