I cut it into thin strips on put it all over my frame, fork and rear rack. For those of you queasy about mucking up your frame, I should add that my commuter was built up from a beater and I don't give two squats about its looks.

I had the lady friend help me test the new visibility, and I glow whenever light hits the frame. Just a thought.
