Lights

Purchase some good quality lights, as the evenings are quite dark it is essential to be seen during your journey home if you are a bicycle commuter or if you need to go out during the evening.

This is a legal requirement in the UK you can find out about the Highway Code here: Section 60
According to the Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations (RVLR), it’s illegal to cycle on a public road after dark without lights and reflectors.

To avoid major trouble with the law (and to stay safe), a white light must be showing from the front of your bike and a red light from the rear.  You’re unlikely to be pulled over by the police as long as the front and rear of your bike are illuminated.
