Front and rear and wheel reflectors are/were required by Ontario (Canada) Law, to be on all new bicycles sold. We told many customers that by Law we were not allowed to sell a bike without the reflectors being on it. I often wondered if any shops selling bicycles without the reflectors installed were charged by the authorities.
