A bicycle must be equipped with appropriate brakes.When a bicycle is used at night, the cyclist must use a headlamp that is visible for at least five hundred feet and a rear red reflector or red light visible by all vehicles approaching the bike from behind. We also encourage cyclists to wear reflective clothing when riding at night.Even though helmets are not required by state law, Graves McLain encourages all cyclists to wear one for safety. Some municipalities may require helmets for cyclists under 18 or for all cyclists.
