This bears repeating: Tell your cash-strapped, unlit or underlit bike rider friends to stop by any of these three locations this afternoon to get free bike lights from Cascade.

They’ll be there from 4-6 p.m. today (December 9). Here’s a map of locations:

More info, from Cascade:

Thanks to Seattle Department of Transportation’s Bike Smart program, we’re lighting up December’s darkness by giving away 420 bike light sets, first-come, first-served.
