UW Madison Police are on the Prowl---To Help Keep You Lighted on your Bicycle

WI law requires a white front light visible from 500 feet, and a rear red reflector or steady or flashing red visible from 500 feet.

UWPD is coordinating 2 initiatives for their annual Be Bright campaign and needs volunteers to install the light sets on bikes.  The initiatives will be Monday, October 13 and 20.  An officer will stop a biker that does not have appropriate bike lighting and while the officer educates and gets some basic information a volunteer installs the light set on the bike.  The location of the initiatives will be kept secret until the day of or the day before the event.  If you are interested in volunteering with this initiative please email Officer Kristin Radtke at keradtke@wisc.edu  She will be in touch with the final location on the night(s) you are able to volunteer.  Thanks for considering!
