"Light Up the Night" Campaign

What is the "Light Up the Night" Campaign?
It is a partnership between San Francisco Municipal Trasportation Agency, also known as SFMTA, and San Francisco Bicycle Coalition (SFBC). What they are basically doing is giving away FREE white front lights and red back light for people who doesn't have any. Not only are they giving people with no bicycle lights, they will also help install them for you.

Price
This event is absolutely FREE! I think the only thing you might have to do is fill out some forms.

When
This event starts on November 8, 2012 from 5 PM to 7 PM.

They will also have this event on these following days:
November 15
November 27
December 13


What do you have bring?
You don't really need anything, except for you bike of course! If you don't have a bicycle with you, then you won't be able to receive any of the lights.

Weather
There is a 50% chance of rain, especially in the PM time, so bike safely especially if you don't have lights!

Location
The location for November 8 is located in the Downtown area. 

Sadly they only give this general description of where they are going to be located at because they want to provide bicycle lights to the people who truly needs them. However, they are supposedly be stationed near busy bike routes so they can be spotted and last year, their tent color was orange.

Location for this event on the other days (Nov. 15, Nov. 27, and Dec. 13) are actually held in another area. Check the location by Clicking Here.

P.S. I read it might be at Howard and 2nd Street.


This is the flyer for the free event.

Definitely check out this FREE event if you have a bike and you don't want to spend money buying front and back lights, which are required to have if you want to bike at night.
