FAIRMONT's picture gives you an idea of why I want reflective sidewalls. I have lights fore and aft, but I feel like I'm not so visible from the side.

This picture, and every other picture I've seen, shows that the reflective tires shout out "bicycle" to anything with a headlight coming from the side.

For added side visibility, there's always reflective tape. This site has a good selection of colors and widths.

Also, a couple strobes mounted to the frame will add active lighting. Lightman makes some very good strobes, from what I've heard.

But for the ultimate in "pimping", you can't do better than a Down Low Glow. BAH has some very nice pics on his blog.
