Wednesday, October 2, 7:15 PM - ???. (Probably around an hour.) Location: To be sent to volunteers. It will be in the south campus area, that is, south of University Ave - Union South, SW Path, etc.
Email me if you can help. One more attempt to gather volunteers for the second and final fall Be Bright campaign. Last week we had a great time<http://www.nbc15.com/home/headlines/UW-police-helping-student-bicyclists-stay-safe-at-night-225281182.html>helping attach front and rear lights on bikes over by Helen C White Library. The UWPD stopped bicyclists without lights, but instead of giving them a ticket, they were directed to the volunteers that attached lights to their bikes. (They also got a verbal warning and short lecture on bicycling laws from the UWPD officers. Many of the volunteers also added their own suggestions on how to stay safe.) This is both fun and an important way to help make bicyclists safer as the days get shorter. Many people stopped - they are mostly students, but not all - are not even aware they need lights at night. No experience or tools needed, but if you have a headlamp or a screwdriver, bring them along. Thanks in advance!
