I love my reflective tape and would recommend it for everyone because when it works it really works! I get comments alot on how well the reflective tape and my reflective xinglet (vest like thing).
However I found alot of time when I come across cars on side streets and exit ramps that are at odd angles or coming around corners they aren't in a position to really see my headlight well and their lights wouldn't shine on my bike till I was under their car. So I got a little el-wire and wrapped my frame.
I'd like it to be closer to amber but all they had was orange.
