I don't believe Forrester and his belief in the complete ineffectiveness of side reflectors. There are PLENTY of bicycling scenarios where side visibility of bikers is an asset- like, EVERY 4 way stop....

'flecco tape applied coincentricly around seatstays, seat tube or fork are all visible at close to 360 degrees and make a bike visible at much greater angles than wheel reflectors.

Wheel reflectors, which still look visible as all get out crossing a car's path, for example, crossing a busy arterial from a side street......
