Google “down low glow” and you’ll hit the company’s site and blog.

The glow tubes get you REALLY noticed at night when riding.

Ride on.

2 words for you- Reflective Tape- The “effective angle” is Greatly reduced when the reflector can contour with the tube.

Oh and the more lights you have, the worse your night vision is.
Why do you need to be seen, when there is no one around?

Also if you talk to anyone that is color blind, they will tell you that they can see reflectors a lot easier than blinkies.

Have you ever put a blinky infront of, or over lapped a blinky and a reflector? Surprise, it enhances the blinky.

And in case that still didn’t work, they’re links to the reflectors articles on Sheldon Brown’s and John Allen’s websites, which should be enough info to find them yourself.

There’s nothing wrong with reflectors. But they absolutely do *not* replace lights. In particular, reflectors pointed sideways (like tire sidewalls) are basically useless. Because a reflector requires (1) light to be shining on it and (2) the light source and the observer to be at appropriate angles for it to do any good. And, as a practical matter, “appropriate angles” usually reduces to the light source and the observer both being perpendicular to the surface of the reflector, and relatively close to one another. So, if a reflector on your side is seen by a motorist, there are two possibilities: they’re far enough away that by the time they get to you, you won’t be there, or they’re so close that by the time they see you it’s too late to do anything about it. Because they only see you when you’re directly in front of them, moving across the front of them.

On the other hand, there’s a reason reflectors are a good addition to blinking rear lights, in particular: the human eye has difficulty judging the movement of blinking lightsources, and has difficulty judging the distance to monochromatic lightsources. Since pretty much all the blinkies you can get are LEDs, they’re all monochromatic. So you’ve got a double whammy on your ability to judge how quickly you’re approaching a cyclist if the only thing you can see is a blinkie. And it’s not just a little tougher, it can really screw with your perceptions: i once nearly hit a fellow cyclist because he had a red blinkie on the front of his bike as his only lightsource, and i literally couldn’t tell that we were coming at each other at (15+20=)~35mph, rather than me gaining on him at (20-15=)5mph, until i was almost on top of him, and trying to “pass him on the left”–i.e., swerving fully into the same lane [of a narrow bike path] that he was in.

My Christmas lights get lots of comments, too, and at a buck fifty after Christmas they’re pretty economical. Last week a perky kiddo walking her bike with her dad said “Look at that person’s backpack!” – and people have often thought it was some kind of special backpack, not just a string of LEDs wrapped around the assorted loops thereupon.

Lane position is the other “little thing” that gets me seen.

Another thought I’ve had is wrapping one or two spokes in reflective tape. I might try that tonight and see how it goes.
