Safer Cycling: Retroreflective Vinyl is Black by Day and Virtually Incandescent by Night

Having a bike that is easy to see could save your life if you are riding at night, the trouble is a lot of people don’t like white bikes, and even a white bike isn’t all that visible. Retroreflective vinyl turns the entire bike into a reflector. When bright light hits it, it becomes a luminous white. With a little care you can attach the material yourself.
