Shorter days don’t have to mean less safe rides. Join us at the Walk and Wheel Skills Hub 4-7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 30, for this year’s Brighten the Night event for this year’s Brighten the Night!

FC Moves will be giving away free bike light sets so you can ride safely and stay visible as the days get shorter. Fort Collins Utilities will also be on hand with free LED lightbulbs, plus information about affordability programs and how to make your home more energy-efficient.

With the time change just around the corner, now is the perfect time to check your gear. People riding bikes must have a white front light and a red rear reflector, but a red rear light is even better!

Come pick up lights for your ride, bulbs for your home and get ready to roll bright all season long.

Make the most of crisp fall days by choosing sustainable ways to get around. Every mile you travel by bike, foot, bus, carpool, vanpool, e-scooter or telework this October helps cut carbon and earns you a chance to win a $100 gift card.

The challenge is hosted through the Shift Your Ride platform, where you can log trips, track your impact, and see how your travel choices add up over time. Create an account, log up to two trips per day between Oct. 1 and 31, and you could be our next winner.

Start logging your trips today and help keep Fort Collins moving toward a cleaner, more connected community.
