Free bicycle lights will be handed out at five service stations throughout San Francisco tonight. This is all a part of "Light Up the Night," a darkness awareness event, if you will, brought to you by SFMTA and the SF Bicycle Coalition. Since December is the darkest month of the year and bike commuters must deal with an earlier nightfall, volunteers will install front and back bicycle lights at Market Street at Duboce Avenue, Howard Street at 8th Street, Valencia Street at Cesar Chavez Street (St. Luke's Hospital), McAllister Street at Webster Street (Ella Hill Hutch Center), and Polk Street at California Street. Remember: it happens from 6 p.m. - 7 p.m. tonight.

This is a great idea from SFBC, but doesn't it make sense to pass out bike lights before nightfall? So, a rider like me will have to ride in darkness to get a bike light and hope I don't get struck by a car before then.
FYI, those free bike lights don't magically give you the right to run red lights when I'm crossing the street, you fucktards.
Hey Brock, thanks for the info. I got me some lights at the Duboce/Market setup.
I'd say a good 150+ people showed up. But the folks organizing it mentioned they had about 2,000 lights for the evening's project. Very cool.
