CYCLISTS in York are being urged to "light up and be seen" as winter approaches.
The city council is reminding cyclists to be prepared for the clocks going back at the end of the month.
Cyclists at the University of York, York St John University, York College and Askham Bryan College can get free high-vis equipment and lights alongside safety advice from North Yorkshire Police. The high-vis and lights will be distributed on 17 and 19 October, from 4-6pm.
North Yorkshire Police has also said officers will be on extra patrols after those dates, and will hand tickets to anyone cycling without lights in the dark, or breaching road traffic signs.
