I think I'm going to put some reflective something or other on my spokes. I think I should be able to do it on racing bikes without adding significant weight or making the bike look Fredly. If I just wrap a few spokes with tape, it will be inconspicuous in the day.
That's what I've done. In fact, with the assistance of my sons we discovered that it only takes about eight evenly spread spokes with a bit (less than the width of a pencil's thickness) of tape around them to be very visible at 500 ft.
