bike light

Nighttime cycling visibility

A bike light is a small lamp mounted on a bicycle for visibility and safety.

Front lights illuminate the road ahead; rear lights make the rider visible to drivers from behind.

Most jurisdictions require them after dark.

I got pulled over because my bike light was dead.
