Bike lights

In case you aren't aware (as I wasn't) of the rules governing bicycle riding after dark, here's some info. I received today which will be of interest if you like to bike at night on the island.


A quick reminder from last fall's Ocracoke Civic and Business
Association meeting- the sheriff's department will began lightly
enforcing the old state law concerning lights on bicycles beginning
the Memorial Day weekend.

With several bicyclists hit the past year and the addition of golf
carts on Ocracoke's roads, the bikes must comply with state law for
safety. You must have a headlight on the bike and a rear reflector.

Please make sure your visitors are aware of this enforcement of state
law as well. If you have any questions, please contact Deputy Sheriff
Jason Daniels at 542-0108.
