Kick-off of the bike lighting campaign in Arnhem
ARNHEM: On Thursday evening 6 November at 5.45 pm, the 'Ik wil je zien' ('I want to see you') bike lighting campaign starts in Arnhem. Velperplein is being turned into a pit lane with all the trimmings: Tim Coronel himself, pit girls in overalls, feather flags and, of course, Tim Coronel's race car to admire.
One in three has poor lighting!
Everybody knows it, yet little gets done: being clearly visible on your bike is hugely important. And still, one in three cyclists has no lights or poor ones. That goes for mountain bikers too: good-quality MTB LEDs are scarce on the market, and they tend to be on the pricey side.
A fine or your life?
At Hilox you can get a set of simple bike LEDs for just €13.95 (shipping included). That is nothing compared with a €55 fine. And it is nothing at all compared with an accident that ends badly. You do not even need tools or serious DIY skills!
