Motorists do not always notice cyclists during daytime.
Using lights even in the daytime boosts cyclist visibility.
LIGHTS ARE NOT JUST
FOR USE AT NIGHT
78% of all accidents involving fatalities and injuries occur in the daytime.

SIDE VISIBILITY IS CRUCIAL
Crossing collisions are most frequent, but rear-end collisions and collisions when turning left are also common.

Fatality rate for cyclists by type of accident
(vehicle-to-vehicle accidents)
Serious collisions tend to happen at crossings.
Using multiple lights enables a cyclist to be seen from all angles.
Motorists are often delayed in noticing cyclists when they are riding without effective lighting.
Using lights ensures motorists can see them from a distance.
