Reflector tape everywhere will make a bike light up everywhere if somebody's headlights are right on it. And if not, well, the reflectors won't do much, but that's why you'll have lights too.

does it matter? do they make a reflector "sphere ball spheroid" kind of thing so it works from "ALL" directions?
If they did, it would not work well. What does work well is reflector tape everywhere.
