I've added some reflective strips. They're not attached directly to the bike. I used plastic shelf 'paper' directly on the bike, and the put the reflective tape over it. The shelf paper comes off easily without residue.

This is how it looks to my eye using a Fenix HP10 on the lowest mode (8 lumens) with a diffuser. I used this lighting set up to show that this lights up well even with minimal lighting. The tape on the bike looks like a beacon when the diffuser on the headlamp isn't used, and even more so on higher settings...it should show up very well with the spill off of car headlights.

Red reflexite on the seat stays, but they point rearward.
Yellow reflexite or SOLAS on the sides.
Class 3 shirt.




I have plenty of lighting on the bike and my helmet, but they're off for this picture.
