Reflectors
16” and under bicycles are considered “sidewalk bicycles”, and may not be fitted with
reflectors. These bicycles should not be ridden on streets, at night or unattended by an
adult. All other bicycles are supplied with one front (white), one rear (red), two wheel
(white), and four pedal (orange) reflectors. These are an important safety and legal
requirement, and should remain securely fitted and in good, clean condition at all times.
Periodically, inspect all reflectors, brackets and mounting hardware for signs of wear or
damage. Replace immediately if damage is found. Front & rear reflectors should be
mounted so that they are within 5 degrees of vertical (when looking at them from the
side of the bike, while the bike is on level ground). The front reflector should aim
forward (when viewed from above), and the rear reflector should aim straight back
(when viewed from above). Wheel reflectors should be checked to be sure they are
tight, and should be kept clean.
