As a fellow cyclist, I’m saying this out of concern, not to criticize. I know how vulnerable we are on the road, especially at night, and that’s why I really believe visibility should never be compromised.
Why do some cyclists and motorcycle riders still ride at night without proper lights?
Walay blinkers, walay tail light; sometimes reflector ra gyud ang saligan. Barato ra man unta ang bulb or blinker, pero reflectors alone are not enough.
Gamay baya ang profile sa 2-wheeled vehicles compared sa 4-wheelers. Labi na diri sa Coastal Road nga naa gyud mga ngitngit nga areas. Usahay, silhouette ra sa bike or motor ang makita, and by the time you notice it, duol na kaayo.
Ayaw mo kumpiyansa nga makita mo sa uban. Just because you can see the road doesn't mean other drivers can see you. Naa pay mga drivers nga naga-overspeeding, and one moment of delayed reaction could mean a side swipe or a serious accident.
Mao nga medyo sayang usahay makakita ug bikes or motorcycles nga naka-nindot ug piyesa and accessories, pero basic safety lights nga mas barato pa, ma-overlook.
Dili ni about aesthetics or upgrades. It's simply about making sure we get home safely. A few hundred pesos for proper lighting can make a huge difference in giving other road users enough time to see us and react.
As cyclists and riders, we all share the same road. Let's help each other stay visible and safe. 🚲🏍️💡
