Bikers, gear up for safety

Sun., Oct. 14, 2018

It’s that time of year again, and those outdoor enthusiasts are up to their old tricks.

Early morning runners, late evening bikers or vice versa. Either way, people are failing to don their safety gear, endangering their lives and the lives of others. Gearing up is simple, fairly inexpensive, and takes little time.

Please, all you exercise nuts (I count myself in this group), buy a reflective vest and wear it, buy a headlamp or bike lamp and use it, and finally, buy that flashing tail/butt light and put it on! Be responsible, please.
