Wear reflective jackets or vests. If you do not have these reflective jackets or vests, never wear dark-colored clothes.

It will make you visible to all motorists.

“Our reflector stocks were depleted after 30 minutes. Some 120 sashes were given, and yet there were still a lot of bikes passing through. I hope we can sustain this project until all bike commuters are given the gift of reflected light.”
