Oh, bells? This one's interesting -- Incredibell Road Bell. This particular one went with the bike when I sold it, but I got a new one for the shifters I just got for a drop bar conversion.

Yeah, that's reflective bar tape! The Auction Site We Do Not Name Aloud has it, search for F.U.B.A.R. reflective. The other reflective stuff is Reflexite V82 from night-gear.com.



Reflecto-Bike before getting plastered with Reflexite V82. Featuring the Nova BULL rear strobe and Bontrager bar-end lights in this photo. Also note how the red reflective tape reflects well from this angle, whereas the plastic cube-corner DOT reflectors on the trunk bag do not.



Reflecto-Bike before/after the full Reflexite mummification.





Comparison photo, mainly demonstrating the fallacy of NiteRider's claim that the Cherry Bomb serves as a reflector.




Comparison photo, mainly demonstrating that plastic cube-corner reflectors don't reflect appreciably from really severe angles, whereas reflective tape does.




Jacket with a bunch of iron-on reflective material. Also, reflective tire sidewalls.

Back Lights

Latest backlight I bought. China made bicycle lights do flood the bicycle shops here. illumination is good, just don't wet it. The water resistancy is poor.
