🔦 It's the FINAL Operation Illumination of the year! Join BikePGH for our bike light giveaway of 2024
🗓️ Weds, Oct 30th, 4-6 pm, or until supplies run out.
📍Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh - Woods Run ( 1201 Woods Run Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15212)
BikePGH staff and volunteers will provide free bike lights and helmets until time or supplies run out (whichever comes first). Unlit cyclists will be flagged down and called over so we can install front and rear light sets on their bikes.
-----
To receive your free lights, please be sure to bring your UNLIT BIKE, as we cannot give you a pair of lights without a bike present. We do this to ensure that we are distributing lights that can be put to use on bikes immediately. If you already own lights please don’t request a set. If you cannot make it to an event but still need a set of lights, contact: [email protected]
Since 2011, Bike Pittsburgh has been giving away hundreds of free bike lights and bike helmets annually with its Operation Illumination program.
BikePGH cares about riders’ safety and education, and this is one of the most direct ways to provide that assistance. Last year, thanks to the support of Edgar Snyder and Associates we gave out over five hundred free bike lights and over two hundred helmets at events across Pittsburgh.
Riding without lights not only makes bicyclists near-invisible after dark – it’s also a ticketable offense. PA state law requires front lights and rear reflectors to be visible after dusk and before dawn. Lightless biking is risky, and whether people are simply unaware or they cannot afford lights, we want to ensure that they are covered.
