This identa-tape gives me an idea. For the day time urban grunt coolness wrap the whole bike up a la jungle or woodland camo. Urban camo I find is more a fashion statement (snowboarders -.-; ) then a workable camo pattern. Now after you've wrapped the bike up go to the local hardware store (you might want to go to a large or good one) and get industrial velco. Now crazy glue a few strips of velco around the bike then crazy glue that reflecto tape on the top of the velco strip. Now you can remove the reflecting strips in the day if you don't want to look all goofy reflecto but at night put the reflecto velco for safety combined with your you know, light, reflecto vest, etc. You can get all camo if you want but put that lightweight reflecto vest over the camo clothes and you're good to go. When you're off the bike take the reflecto vest off and you won't look goofy as you wander the urban jungle in your camo gear.

Oh yes, when thinking aobut this now put the hooks side of the velco on the bike so when you remove the reflecto stripes you made you'll carry the soft parts then the hooks part. Rather good to do it that way then have the hooks stick to your clothes, fabric, bf/gf sweater, the dog (woof woof!), elmo, etc. ROTFL.
