From the bike-oz list, very interesting considering the recent BV lighting news article from last week,
============================
Dear Colleagues,
Autumn is such a great time for bike riding. The Cycling Promotion Fund is
running a campaign to encourage bicycle riders to get lights for their
bicycles to enable them to take advantage of the wonderful autumn days
without putting themselves at risk by having no lights when it gets dark
early.
We also want to inform bicycle riders that the technology in lights has been
advancing enormously over the last few years and the lights available today
are reliable, effective, practical and affordable.
We have sent out press releases to all major metropolitan and regional
newspapers and radio stations and have drafted a press release for cycling
organisations and bicycle retailers to adapt and send out to their relevant
media contacts.
below is the link to the press release which can be adapted by your
organisation.
http://www.cyclingpromotion.com/lights.doc
We also developed a fact sheet on lighting for consumer to assist them in
making an informed choice when purchasing lights. Feel free to use the fact
sheet as you see appropriate, eg. email to members, put on your website,
include in mailouts etc, include in your newsletter....

We encourage you to keep the campaign positive by encouraging the right
behaviour rather than finger pointing at the bicycle riders who break the
law, which has the potential to get motorists who don't like bicycle riders
on the road, with further ammunition.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or suggestions.
Thanks for your assistance in spreading the word and educating bicycle
riders and parents of bicycle riders how they can maintain riding in autumn
and winter without increased risk of not being seen.
Kind regards
