Brighten Up – be safe when cycling

The University of Nottingham is running its annual ‘Brighten Up’ campaign to remind staff and students to be safe and be seen when cycling in the autumn and winter months.

Take a look at the Brighten Up page or watch Ridewise's safe winter cycling video for advice on staying visible.

The clocks go back one hour on Sunday 28th October 2018 so be prepared for darker evenings next week.

Bike lights must be used on campus, public roads and cycle paths between sunset and sunrise. Fines of up to £150 can be issued if this is not observed. See what lights are required by law.

If you need lights for your bike, you can pick up a set from the SU shop for £5.50 or take part in the Facebook competition to be in with the chance of winning some.
