Two December bike light giveaways in San Jose: December 14, and December 18. Details below.

The city of San Jose, CA Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee will have their annual free light and helmet giveaway this Monday, December 14th, from 4:30 – 5:30 pm, in front of the King Library in downtown San Jose. Their goal is to reach those most in need of these items, who otherwise would not be able to afford these themselves. Please pass word along to those you know who don’t have lights. If you don’t need the helmet or light, don’t snag an extra for yourself just because it’s free. Leave it for somebody else who might not be able to afford an inexpensive light. Okay?
