Are you a day(night)-glo wonder or a dark horse? Can you be seen for miles or do you fade dangerously into the pitch black? Anoraks, sashes, belts, rucksack covers, armbands, legbands: discuss all sensible or otherwise night-biking gear here.

Myself: red anorak with sparse reflective detailing. Rucksack has a green reflective London Cycling Campaign sticker. I had some natty snaparound wrist bands, not sure where they are now.

most of my cycling clothes are black
Yep. I have a red rear LED, need a white front one.

I could do with some stick-on reflective tape. Red tape on a red helmet, nice 'n' unobtrusive.
― ledge, Friday, 26 October 2007 15:42 (eighteen years ago)
however, i really like white base layers for some reason.

white blinky for front times, red 3M reflective tape on the seat stays for back times
....my sis used to work at 3M, actually, so i've got much of the frame covered in reflective tape
also, bailey works bag has massive reflective strips on the lid and on the bottom
― gbx, Friday, 26 October 2007 16:47 (eighteen years ago)
Ooh the bottom, that's good. As soon as a bag is full the lid doesn't show behind you anymore, that's a problem where I clip my light. Shd sew on some extra tapes for that.

I don't ride that much at night, but I've got three blinkies in the front, two in the back, and little bits of reflective tap stuck here and there. I've thought about investing in some reflective clothing:

That seems a little oranger than I'm willing to go.

I only have a reflective sash from my moped days, which is partially hidden under my rucksack (reflective piping) when I'm commuting. I also have fluorescent ankle thingies but don't tend to wear them unless they're holding back a trouser.
― Mark C, Friday, 26 October 2007 17:42 (eighteen years ago)
Yeah, but isn't it so dorky that it's actually kind of cool. Right? right?

red blinky for the back, and i left all the dorky stock reflectors on my bike
― sleep, Friday, 26 October 2007 19:29 (eighteen years ago)
omg i want those reflective safety hats
― gbx, Friday, 26 October 2007 19:36 (eighteen years ago)
why? you should have a helmet on
― cutty, Friday, 26 October 2007 19:39 (eighteen years ago)
The Planet Bike Superflash blinky that I use in back is seriously insane. On the front I have a 10w halogen (a prehistoric vistalite, but really a nice can/clamp design IMO), and a Planet Bike Blaze for a front blinky.
My pannier has reflectors, as do my pantleg straps and my jacket.
I do almost an hour and a half in the dark each day at this
