Tonight see the clocks go back so you'll get an extra hour in bed tomorrow morning or an extra hour out on the town(!).

However, Thames Valley Police are warning you of the dangers that can arise now the nights will be darker - especially to cyclists.

Here are some tips on how to stay safe:

ENSURE YOUR BIKE IS IN TIP-TOP CONDITION

ARE WEARING HI-VIS CLOTHING OR ACCESSORIES

HAVE FRONT AND REAR LIGHTS WORKING

ALWAYS WEAR A SAFETY HELMET

CHECK THE WEATHER FORECAST BEFORE YOU TRAVEL

EXPECT INCIDENTS AND ANTICIPATE THEM
