dammit, i went another route today!! ishnock, are you donating bike lights? or money? If not i 'd say you can't really talk.
ishnock, don't be such a tool. This isn't the city giving away bike lights. This is one man, Jim Freeman, who paid a non-profit, Active Trans, to give away bike lights for two hours. This has nothing to do with the city. Why are you belittling their efforts? What are you doing to promote bike safety?
It's a great deed..I love the idea,but for
2 hours on a weekday?
It would have been better to have had it on a Saturday or Sunday.Fridays are tough.The last day of the week. Rush hour
causing people and traffic to be everywhere,not giving people a chance to make it.
Im not downplaying the deed,just the manner in which it was presented.
It's a geat

The general idea is not to provide a place for people to go and pick up free bike lights; it's to stop unlit people, at random, and provide them a light.
Regardless, if you need a light and are too cheap/broke to go buy one, then quit your whining and get your ass to the prescribed place and time.

I rode by tonight at around 6:30pm, and that is exactly how they were doing things. I have pretty bright front and rear lights, and they didn't offer me a free light (and they shouldn't have, I'm not the target they are trying to reach). When someone rode by without a front light, however, they practically chased them down to make sure they got one. Great service, and hopefully the people they reached continue to use them.
