Title, there's a bike path here in San Fernando, at night it's pitch black going to the sylmar train station, and in between there's intersections that you can technically cross, but good luck because those streets are very busy and you'll have to go out of the way to the light vs a bike warning light that I see in the bay area flashes when pressed and you can cross.

Theoretically, would it be illegal if someone added solar bike lights along the trail that would make it safer at night, along with bike specific cross walk flasher signals?

Has anyone used the BikeLink lockers there (or elsewhere)? If so how easy to use and reliable are they?

I want to take my cargo e-bike to Metro tmrw but too big for the train and don’t want to leave it locked on the street so if there was some sort of snafu with the bike lockers I’d be screwed/stranded. Any advice/experience appreciated! Just downloaded the app but never used them before.

EDIT: used them today and had a great experience! Cargowagen with front rack and tern clubhouse fit with about an inch to spare. Some of them were short enough that my yepp seat might have had to come off, but i used the tallest one and was fine.
