Title: Bicycle Reflectors
Post by: jay on December 03, 2013, 05:48:39 AM
Three youngsters were riding bicycles east on Mahoning Avenue last night.  They were almost impossible to see because their bicycles did not have reflectors.   Parents should make sure their children's bicycles are equipped with reflective tape or working lights.

Technically by law, bicycles are to have reflectors, I believe.

You are correct Bill y, Ohio law requires reflectors on bicycles.  I think lights are
optional - but certainly common sense accessories.  A couple of small, LED
types and you're easily visible several hundred feet away.
