Be visible on the bike
Let us help you have enjoyable, successful experiences when riding. We have gathered together a range of support and solutions to help you be seen on the bike.
Supporting you to get the right solutions so you can SMILE when you ride.
Welcome to goRides – Be Visible on the Bike page, where we support you to be safe and be seen when riding. This is particularly important when riding in traffic, poor light, poor weather conditions or at dusk/night. There is no question that the very best way to keep yourself safe on a bike when sharing your riding environment with other users is by being highly visible. Let’s take a look at your options to help other users see you and you may be surprised by how stylish you could be!
When introducing younger riders to biking and especially when riding on the road and in traffic, it is really important for you to know they can be seen. Visit our Kids & Youth Visibility page for more targeted advice for this age group.
Be seen in your Outer Layer
Key things to know. To be safe you need to be seen. Other users like motor vehicles need to be aware you are present and sharing the space. The earlier they see you the less the risk.
Best way to solve this issue. Is to make yourself as visible as possible. Use jackets and vests that are bright (fluorescent colours or simply a bright colour) and choose reflective for poor light or night riding. Have words shapes or stripes that are reflective on your items.
