Want free bicycle lights? The RSA are giving them away via their Facebook page, or, if you’re in Dublin, Gardai in Dublin will be handing out free lights at a number of locations this week. Tomorrow gardai will be at Guild St on North Wall Quay, as they tweeted this afternoon:

...I'm sorry to disrupt you while you're reading this article, but without messages like this, IrishCycle.com's reader-funded journalism won't survive. With nearly 1/2 million views and 300k readers so-far this year, it's not just people who are dedicated to cycling that this website reaches. However, the number of subscribers is around 0.6% of readers. While having a large gap between readers/subscribers is standard for non-paywall reader-supported journalism, IrishCycle's journalism needs more support. Don't delay, support monthly or yearly today. Now, back to the article...
They were already giving lights to cyclists on Wilton Place, as pictured here:

...That's the end of the article. Keep scrolling if you want to the comments, but IrishCycle.com *NEEDS* readers like you to keep it that way. It only requires a small percentage of readers to give a bit each month or every year to keep IrishCycle.com's journalism open to all. Thank you.
Brilliant.
Wish I could get some light for my kids
Great the RSA is a national body and give out free lights to people in Dublin in a well-lighted area. In other words the rest of the country can buy their own lights where they needed most what a corrupt kip.
They regularly give lights out on their Facebook page and will post then anywhere in Ireland.
You can also buy them for €20 in any bike shop. Only half the cost of an on the spot fine!
