Clocks have gone back and the days are getting shorter so please make sure you don't get caught out without lights at night and kit yourself out properly for Winter. The council is running a 'Be Bright' campaign to promote the use of lights and reflectors. A cyclist is essentially invisible at night without them. Roving cycle ambassadors from the Council, BNB and the police are out and about to stop cyclists without lights and offer to fit lights to their bike. Those that do have lights don't miss out, they'll be rewarded with puncture repair kits, reflective strips, bells and other cool stuff (while stocks last).

A number of bike shops are also helping cyclists kit out for winter with discounts if you mention BNB:

> Stoke cycle centre will take 15% off selected lights and reflective gear for the month of April.
> Avantiplus Richmond has reflective gear & selected lights on special until the end of April (Front & rear light combo was $69, now $49).
> The Cycle Shop will give a 10% discount on lights and reflective gear.
> Bicycle Business have some light sets on special at the moment; 2 options both 50% off were $59 and $50 now $29.50 and $25.00 and will give a 10% discount on other lights and reflective clothing not already discounted.
