Cyclists who are biking without lights will be treated to free light sets from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday on Forbes Avenue in Pittsburgh’s Oakland neighborhood.

The pop-up event is sponsored by Bike Pittsburgh and its Operations Illumination program. Those biking without lights will be flagged down so volunteers can install complimentary front and rear lights on their bikes.

They’ll also receive a comic book that details the basics of biking safely in Pittsburgh and a bike map of the city.

The location is to-be-determined but will be “somewhere on Forbes in Oakland.”

Those who want free lights should bike the street from 7 to 9 p.m. Lights will not be given away without a bike.
