MOVE Santa Barbara County Hosts Bike Light Giveaway | Houses & Way of life

MOVE Santa Barbara County is resurrecting its annual Iluminando La Noche (Light Up the Night) marketing campaign, internet hosting night occasions throughout the South Coast to distribute a whole lot of free rechargeable bicycle lights to cyclists who want them most.

The giveaway occasions will likely be at 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 3-Friday, Nov. 7.

“As daylight hours shrink, riding without lights becomes a serious hazard,” mentioned Rick Wayman, interim govt director of MOVE Santa Barbara County. “Biking with lights saves lives, and we’re proud to serve our neighborhood on this method.

“To get your set of lights, come out to one of our distribution events. Please bring your bike so we can install them for you on the spot.” 

During every evening’s occasion volunteers will assist set up the lights, provide security ideas, and share details about Bici Centro, MOVE’s DIY neighborhood bike restore store, 434 Olive St., Santa Barbara. 

“Proper lighting isn’t optional, it’s a fundamental safety measure,” MOVE Santa Barbara County mentioned. “Well-mounted, maintained bike lights help others see cyclists sooner, reduce collision risk, and contribute directly to safer riding conditions for low-light hours.”

Light up the Night occasions would be the following days and places:
• Monday, Nov. 3 – Eastside, Milpas and Cota streets.
• Tuesday, Nov. 4 – Downtown, State and Ortega streets.
• Wednesday, Nov. 5 – Westside, Micheltorena and San Andres streets.
