Cycling is wonderful in our beautiful province during autumn and winter. Enjoy the colorful autumn landscapes, arrive fresh and energized, and get a chance to win automatic bike lights! Now that the days are getting shorter and daylight saving time ends, this is the perfect moment to check your bike lights. Good lighting is not only mandatory but also essential for your safety. The province supports the national AAN campaign with a cinema commercial, campaign materials for municipalities, and the Turn it ON! Challenge.
Racking up kilometers on your bike all year keeps you fit and lets you enjoy the outdoors. In autumn and winter, make sure you are clearly visible to other road users.
Stand out: turn your lights ON
Turn on your bike lights in the dark and during dusk, fog, and rain. Good bike lighting reduces the chance of an accident by up to 20 percent. Regularly check if your bike lights (and your childs) are working properly. This way, you arrive home safely and avoid a fine of 75 euros. Handy tip: if the street lights are on, turn on your bike lights as well.
