Wowzer!
I need those 'Tacky Mud Flap Girls' reflectors for my mud flaps.
Strikes me that they'd be perfect for 'accessorizing' splats too.

Go here and scrolls down to see the "Spokees" reflectors. I have
them on several bikes. Quite visible, and they work with aero
rims. Lots of other fun shapes, too.

Reflective tape intended for use inside the rim was once sold under
the name Sidelights. The package looked like this:

They were very reflective, and showed up well from the front, back
or
sides. I haven't seen them in years. The advent of v-section rims
may have done them in, they would not have conformed well to the
sharp
bend.
I don't think that standard reflective tapes would work as well, but
it could still do some good. I do like reflective sidewall tires
for
commuting at night.

I read a suggestion somewhere (Sheldon? PJW?) to put reflective
tape
strips on the INSIDE of the rim, facing the hub. Since this surface
faces alternately front and rear, and is in motion, it is
supposedly
very effective.
Anybody doing this?

On my commute for dark times of the year I want to be REAL
visible.
My take is that making oneself visible among many car lights,
various
street lights, and
commercial signage, one's bike can't be over lit.
I have 2 bright front LED lights, a Dinotte rear light and
accompany
the Dinotte with two planet bike blinkys.
I'm using the Riv wheel reflectors, Riv ankle reflectors, and a
reflective vest. I have an eos led on my helmet
(mainly for getting the attention of cars at intersections). I'm
going
for the 'It Came From OuterSpace' look
and it seems to work.
Riding home on Friday I met a bicycler with Niteiz Spokelits on
his
front wheel.
When he was moving his bike was quite visible from the side.
Looking on the Google I see that these use CR2016 batteries so
that
isn't such a good thing.
As lights go they aren't too dear ~ USD $ 8.
Anyone using Spokelits?
I'm also intrigued by Monkey Lights but my lighting compulsion
isn't
so strong (yet) that I'm going to
spend ~ USD $ 60. They do look like fun but a bit of a kludge.
Light em up,
JimD
