Now, I just need to figure out where I put the damned reflectors when I took them off... obviously I AM riding between a half hour after sunset and a half hour before sunrise, otherwise I wouldn't bother with the maniacal array of lights... I'm careful, not utterly paste-eatingly insane

Bummer.

UPDATE: talked to the local PD, they confirmed that while reflectors are required on NEW bicycles, they aren't required any longer if you have effective lighting, and are suitably replaced by the same. Thank god
If you read the law, it very specifically tells you exactly what you need. I do not recall wheel reflectors as a part of it, but it gives specific instructions for the red rear reflector. I also believe that a reflective light will not satisfy, as the law makes separate light and reflector fairly clear, at least as I recall.
