As the days get shorter, an annual campaign will be hitting Toronto’s streets again Tuesday with one message in mind — cyclists, get lit. Organized by cyclist-advocacy group Cycle Toronto, the Get Lit! Cyclists will get also free front and back lights as well as a copy of the Toronto Cyclists Handbook and education on the importance of staying visible while cycling at night. “We want to encourage people to keep riding even as the light fades, but it’s really important that everyone does their bit to stay safe on the road,” Cycle Toronto’s executive director Jared Kolb said in a statement. But it is a very important safety issue to make sure that people are well-lit and seen by other road users,” she said.
