The days are getting shorter, but that’s no reason to be outside less. Just make sure you’re still visible, whether walking, jogging or biking at night or whenever the light is poor. Even wearing white may not be enough, as this poster shows.
The West Windsor Bicycle and Pedestrian Alliance has plenty of ways to help, with great deals on lights, reflective gear … even an LED leash for your dog. Items cost between $2 and $14.
Stop by our table at the West Windsor Farmers Market from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Oct. 2, Oct. 16 and Oct. 30.
Motorists, please be extra vigilant while driving when visibility is poor.
Plus: We’ll once again be offering bike check-ups at the farmers market, also on Oct. 2, 16 and 30.
While our volunteers will do quick adjustments to get your bike back on the road, we do not do extensive repairs. Nor do we stock parts. This includes inner tubes and tires. Please bring a new inner tube if you need a flat tire fixed.
If the check-up shows your bike needs more than a quick adjustment, you’ll need to go to a local bike shop.
Yes, we do the work for free, but please consider showing your thanks by becoming a member of the West Windsor Bicycle and Pedestrian Alliance.
Don’t forget: The WWBPA will be collecting bike donations for the Trenton Bike Exchange on Oct. 16.
