Gardai are reminding cyclists of their legal obligation to have working lights when cycling on public roads during the dark mornings and evenings.
The reminder comes as gardai in County Kildare have highlighted a recent incident which led to an on-the-spot fine being issued.
In a post on social media, a spokesperson said: "While on patrol, Naas Roads Policing observed this pedal cyclist in dark clothing with no front or rear lights. FCPN issued."
