New regulations for cyclists in 2025: what changes for your safety
Why these regulations matter
Cycling is booming, whether for daily commutes, leisure, or sport. In response to this growing popularity, regulations are evolving to enhance cyclist safety and improve their coexistence with other road users. Since January 2025, several changes in the Highway Code directly affect cyclists. Let’s break down these updates and see how they might impact you daily.
1. The end of flashing lights: increased visibility
One major change concerns the ban on flashing rear lights on bikes, at least at night, since nothing prohibits them during the day. While these devices were previously tolerated, the new rules now require steady lights to avoid any confusion with car or motorcycle turn signals.
Choose compliant solutions
AtBike in Light, we offer solutions that comply with this new regulation, including ourrear bike light with integrated brake detector Brakey™, which provides optimal brightness and long battery life, but also alerts other road userswhen you brake! Perfect for staying visible and complying with the law with ease.

2. Personal lighting devices encouraged
Another interesting development is the authorization and encouragement of personal lighting devices, such as LED armbands or backpacks equipped with light panels. These accessories help improve cyclist visibility, especially during night rides or in poor weather conditions.
Featured product: the Blinky Bag
OurBlinky Bag™fits perfectly with this trend. With its LED icons controlled by a remote and a 15L capacity, it clearly signals your intentions to all road users.
3. Connected helmets: towards smarter safety
The new regulations also highlight helmets with enhanced visibility. Devices with integrated USB-rechargeable LEDs are now highly recommended for their ability to make cyclists more visible, especially from the sides.

4. Bike parking: towards safer stops
