Relative to bicycle safety. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill proposes several changes to improve bicycle safety in Massachusetts. First, it amends existing law to require bicycles to have both a red rear light and reflectors, rather than allowing either a light or reflectors. Second, it mandates that all bicycles sold in the state must be equipped with the required lights and reflectors. Finally, it increases the fine for violations of these bicycle equipment requirements from $20 to $50. These changes aim to enhance visibility and safety for bicyclists on the roads.
