On the night of Saturday October 26 to Sunday October 27, we switched to winter time in our company. With the days getting shorter, cyclists must be particularly vigilant about their visibility on the road. One question arises: are you well equipped to ride at night?
Society: The “Cyclists, shine!” operation for optimal visibility
To help cyclists ride safely, the operation “Cyclists, shine!” returns this year from November 4 to 13 in Amiens. On this occasion, stands will be set up in different neighborhoods to offer free visibility kits. Each kit includes essential accessories to be clearly visible: front and rear light, bib, reflectors and reflective armbands.
Also protect your bike against theft
In addition to safety equipment, cyclists will be able to take advantage of this operation to protect their bike against theft. Marking BiCycodeproduced for free by l’association Buscycletteallows the bicycle to be registered in a national database. To benefit from this service, all you need to do is provide identification and proof of purchase of the bike.
“Cyclists, shine!” meetings
Here are the places and times where you can find the stands and obtain your visibility kit and BiCycode marking:
- Monday November 4 : Tour Perret | 4:30 p.m. – 7 p.m.
- Tuesday November 5 : Maison Communale de Dury, rue Ludwig Straub | 4.30pm – 7pm

With this initiative, no longer leave your safety and that of your bike to chance!
