Dude should stop by next Thursday for a light set.
No more excuses, ninja riders. We’ve got lights, and we’re giving them away.
Thanks to Seattle Department of Transportation’s Bike Smart program, we’re lighting up December’s darkness by giving away 420 bike light sets, first-come, first-served. Visit us at one of the following locations (look for the Cascade banners) to get your free light set during the evening commute from 4 to 6 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 9:
- Burke-Gilman Trail between University Way and Brooklyn Ave in the U-District.
- Entrance to the Elliott Bay Trail at Broad Street and Alaskan Way.
- Jose Rizal Bridge at 12th Ave and Sturgus Ave (start of the I-90 trail)
If you’re still on the fence about how being unlit is the new black, perhaps Miss Panniers, slave to fashion and etiquette, can shed some light on the topic.

This is awesome. As a bike commuter I know how important lights are, thank you for doing this!
@exercisespace You’re welcome! Spread the word!
Why can’t other bicyclists buy their own lights like I did? Why do taxpayers have to buy them for us? I ride a bike, I properly equip it. The money I save from buying gas more than paid for my lights.

I resent my tax $$ going to pay for others cycle toys.
