Fall Back
The end of Daylight Savings Time is a good time to check or change the batteries in your bicycle lights.
By law, bicycles are required to have a white front light and a red rear light or approved red reflector when riding one half-hour before sunset to one half-hour after sunrise.
Be visible at night.
Use lights and wear bright and reflective clothing.

Cycle Kingston on Bike Lanes
Designated and marked on-road bike lanes are a major part of the Bikeway Plan for the City of Kingston. Although these cycle lanes are popular, Cycle Kingston takes the position that there is no conclusive evidence that the implementation of such infrastructure alone will significantly increase cycling or make it safe for cyclists. With or without bikes lanes, cyclists need to have the knowledge and skills to safely operate bicycles when using roadways. A painted line will not prevent an accident. Education and training for both cyclists and motorists is key to safety. Cycle Kingston believes that people are more likely to ride bicycles and go more places if they have confidence in their abilities to safely ride in most situations on most roads.
