reflective tape on rims
where do you put them? right on the rim? won't that affect braking when the brake pad runs over them and would visibility be compromised when black streaks get imprinted on the tape?

I have some of these and a little piece wraps around each spoke. That way, each piece is a tube and visible from all angles when the wheel is moving.

The website is too alarmist and over the top, but you get the idea.

You don't put it in the braking surface. See the pics in this thread
