Launched in 2023 with support from the Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning (OHSP) and the DALMAC Fund, our Light Love program is lighting up Michigan’s roads and trails. Through this initiative, LMB distributes bike light sets and educational materials on the benefits of active lighting for both bicyclists and pedestrians, helping those in need stay safe and visible.

This month, the Chocolay Township Police Department shared how they distributed these bike lights provided by our Light Love program. In a letter from Township Manager William De Groot and Police Chief Anthony Carrick, they expressed their gratitude: “With the help of LMB, we have made the roadways and trails safer for both cyclists and motorists.”

They went on to share that the community’s interest was overwhelming—120 bike light sets were distributed within the first two hours, alongside the remaining bike helmets donated by other agencies. “We are grateful for LMB consideration and support, and proud to be part of a community striving for positive change. Bike safety in Chocolay Township has been improved by this donation, and 120 cyclists can enjoy safer rides and commutes thanks to enhanced visibility.”

LMB is proud to support communities like Chocolay Township in their efforts to improve bike safety. Want to get involved? Learn more and apply for lights to distribute in your community.
