Columbia Parks and Recreation increasing bicycle safety

GetAbout Columbia staff are reminding cyclists the importance of having and using a white, front-facing light and red taillight.

With daylight saving time ending this past Sunday, cyclists are encouraged to follow the law in regards to having these lights.

GetAbout Columbia is partnering up with Columbia Parks and Recreation Wednesday Nov. 8 and Nov. 15 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m by conducting a bicycle light checkpoint.

Light kits and a flyer explaining traffic ordinances related to cycling safe will also be distributed.
