After seeing many students (cyclists) come past our booth during the MIT Wellness Fair and indicate they didn't have lights, we decided enough was enough. And threw a bike lights dance party. On November 27, Will, Keith, and I executed our first bike lights focused event -- we had music, snacks, coffee, and courtesy of PLANET BIKE, bike lights!
Some of the funner parts included "ticketing" people (PN2K mock tickets for those cycling without lights, and inviting them to our event at the Student Center). It was extremely satisfying to see people coming to us as silhouettes and then cycling away distinctly more visible. We know there are still more of you out there. If you need lights, our next event is Friday, Dec 5: Winter Bike Fest! Come out, mingle in the Student Center, bring your bike & your cycling companions.
A huge THANK YOU to PLANET BKE for your partnership and popular Spok lights!
