Bellingham bicycle shops offer discount during bike light campaign

Local bicycle shops are offering a 10 percent discount on bike lights until Nov. 30, during "See and Be Seen," a community education campaign to increase the use of bike lights and promote safe night riding.

"Bicyclists put themselves, pedestrians and motorists at risk when they ride at night without lights," said Kim Brown, transportation options coordinator with Bellingham Public Works. "Bike lights help cyclists see the road or trail ahead and make them visible to others."
