Be Safe, Be Bright is a statewide bike light giveaway organized by BikeTexas! Through a grant from the Texas Department of Transportation’s Safe Routes to School program, BikeTexas has purchased Safety LED lights to distribute to over 100,000 Texas school children.
The lights arrived on September 28 and we’ve been hard at work ever since sending lights to schools, partners and organizations around the state. Our lights are easy to install in seconds. The front white light can be mounted on the bike handlebar with the rear red light on the seatpost or bike frame for kids that bike to school; they can also be mounted on a backpack or tennis shoes for kids that walk to school.
The packaging is waste-free; the lights come attached to a water-resistant card, which is printed with Bike & Walk Safety Tips in English and Spanish and is a highly durable education tool. We encourage kids to keep the card with them all times so they can share these safety tips with other kids.
Want to know how to get lights to distribute to your school? They’re going fast and quantities are limited. Contact Fernando Martinez at education@biketexas.org or call 512-476-7433.
