Warming weather means more riding whether its a club ride, to Barton Springs, or a pub crawl with friends. Although it stays lighter later, chances are you are eventually going to get caught riding after dark. (Actually, riding after dark is one of the best parts of summer riding in Austin.) Being a ninja rider may sound cool, but you are increasing your chances of getting hit zillion percent if you are lightless.

This week’s video is from an oddly recumbent-less bearded senior cyclist urging you to get lit put lights on your bike so you can see and be seen. This could be the worst rap song of all time, but at least the coot is honest: “I’m a 61 year old white guy. I can’t sing, I can’t rap. I can’t dance.” Please follow his instructions so he does not a make another one of these!

And for those who think they are getting seen on the road, check out this British video made several years ago to raise motorist awareness of cyclists.

Be safe out there!
