Lighting the Path Together
Creating a safe community for bikers across the Commonwealth.
About MassBike Lights Brigade
MassBike’s Lights Brigade is a program working to make cycling safer across Massachusetts. With volunteer support, we host events and opportunities to provide free sets of front and rear bike lights to bikers.
Did you know that current bike laws require the use of bike lights? Together we can light the path for safe cycling in our community.
It takes a collective to keep everyone safe. Through our program everyone can get involved in making biking safer while helping all comply with biker safety laws.
Our Impact
Since 2020, we’ve purchased and distributed over 6,000 sets of front and rear lights to bicyclists of all ages and abilities.
In the past 12 months, community members like you have hosted more than 30 Lights Brigade events distributing lights to all.
The journey toward bike safety isn’t finished. Through the generosity of donors and community volunteers we can continue to expand our reach and impact.
How You Can Support
Host a Lights Brigade Event in Your Community
Join a community of volunteers to host a casual and fun lights distribution event in your area!
As a volunteer host, you’ll choose a street corner or trail that's popular with bicyclists to hand out bike lights. Hosts usually spend about 4-5 hours including planning on these types of events. Hosts are expected to determine the date/location of their event, coordinate with MassBike to get lights & approve publicity, be the main contact for volunteers, and report back to MassBike about how the event went/send in any photos.
Ready to host? Fill out our Lights Brigade Volunteer Form.
