I remember seeing this picture a while back. I never really considered putting any on my bike. But you have to admit, this looks pretty cool, let alone being able to be seen. How well does that adhesive stand up to water and such?

I'm not sure what tape was used on his bike, but I use 3M and it holds up very well. I had to take some tape off another bike and it was very hard to remove. His sure is a lot fancier than mine.
Check with an auto parts store, body shop or an auto paint store.

Hey urban_assault. Your bike looks cool. I'm actually reconsidering putting some on my bike. I'm not just going for the looks of it. I want to be seen. I already own headlights and tail lights.

you can get alternating red and white tape from safety supply stores. I'll do it the day, if ever, I get tired of looking at the Bruce Gordon Decals on my bike.
