See and Be Seen - Singapore’s First Night Cycling Safety Campaign

Yet another cycling project by students of NTU's Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information - this time Grace Auyong write to introduce us to See and Be Seen, Singapore’s First Night Cycling Safety Campaign, which is a 30km ride night ride on 10 March 2012 which begins at 10pm at Xtreme Skate Park @ East Coast Park.

"See and Be Seen is our tiny effort to raise awareness about the need for visibility while cycling at night. As you know, cycling in Singapore is steadily increasing in popularity. Night cycling is particularly popular with the busy folks in Singapore, with the weather, and the traffic being more favorable to cyclists at night. However, many of these casual cyclists do not take note and use essential cycling safety equipments, when they head out to cycle.

This is where See and be Seen comes in. We plan to encourage more to be visible while night cycling through Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/seeandbeseen), and also through our Night Ride on the 10th of March. The ride will start at 10pm, and continue till 2am. It will be a 30km night ride, where 250 participants will learn more about night cycling visibility, and pick up other tips and tricks of night cycling safely."
