Yeesh! Typical bureaucratese. The way the vehicle code reads, if you have a tailight but no reflector on the rear, you're in violation. Reflectors on your shoes but not on the pedals, and you're in violation. On the other hand, it doesn't specify any minimum surface area for any of the reflectors, and no minimum visible distance for the side reflectors. Pretty spotty, huh?

I have a strong suspicion these regulations are pretty rarely enforced; it reads like a 'nuisance law' the cops can whack an egregious violator with if the need arises -- if the cop happens to be familiar with the requirements, which again is kind of doubtful.

Anyway, I ain't sticking no reflectors on my rat traps, and I'll be d*mned if I'm going to stick reflectors in my old Motobecane's spokes; maybe I'll wrap some reflector tape around the front and rear fork legs. Or not. Heck, in my neighborhood we've got kids flying around at night on unlit pocket motorcycles, motorized razor scooters, and the occasional blacked-out car. I don't think anybody's going to notice me flouting the law.
