Every kid deserves a bike
that is safe and visible.
SafeSpokes provides free visibility kits to families across DuPage County — directly on the Illinois Prairie Path.
The Problem
Most kids’ bikes are invisible at dawn, dusk, and in low light — the exact times children are most likely to ride.
Our Answer
SafeSpokes fixes the visibility problem — for free. Visibility kits provided at stations on the Prairie Path.
