What kind of tape did you use? And how was the application?
The tape type is linked to the suppliers in my original post. I think I got the recommendations off another similar thread in this forum. With shipping I think I'm out maybe a total of $35 for reflective bits. I have plenty left over for my wife's bike and any future bike reflective needs. I got 1/4" black and white pinstripes, as well as a 1" x 10' section of that High Intensity stuff in "Silver."
Application was easy, took me a couple evenings to get it all on (working an hour or two each night). I'm a bit compulsive, so if I take the fenders off in the future (for repairs or servicing) I may retape the white pinstripes to get them "perfect." Putting the tape on while everything was attached to the bike was a bit of a challenge, but it's serviceable and relatively straight.
A night I always wear ankle reflectors. In all season's but summer I have a hi-vis yellow jacket/vest, and in summer I always keep one of those nathan reflective triangle things (the kind with the belt you can just clip on real quick).
Tape seems to be working, had a late night ride home yesterday after a free concert in downtown. I got a "Git a Caaaarrrr!" from some redneck woman as she cut me off to park steet side at the Greyhound station....

Right now, I'm still in love with the Breezer. Sure it's a bit heavy, but it rides like a caddy, and the upright position has been treating me nicely. I'm not worried about weight on my city bike. If I pick up a six pack on the way home, doesn't that negate the $$$ I'd spend to try and keep my bike weight down? The built in generator lights are bright, the nexus hub is a dream.
