Amazing idea.

In your signature pic, you are wearing a lot of reflective stuff too. Did you hae to modify and add more reflective stuff to your clothing?
Yup... The film that I use for the frame is too rigid to go around the tight turns of a spoke, that's why I use the Lightweights. I'd say that I don't use "tape" for the frame (you could), as tape comes on rolls which tend to be quite expensive for the amount you get, and you are can't create a strip wider than the tape.

On my coat you see in the pic, I added all but the narrow band of reflectivity seen under my armpit, in the center shot. Again, using fabri-tac glue instead of sewing.
