http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2011/11/ ... for-bikes/ Pretty neat. Way cooler than reflectors stuck in spokes. It's a kickstarter project, but it looks like you can outfit your bike for $25.

No good for box-section rims. I imagine they're designed around and cut to fit Deep Vs so I wonder how they would fit a B43 or an Aerohead, being at a different angle and therefore a different ratio of circumferences between the braking surface and the V-section peak. This is way cheaper than getting the rims with reflective paint though.

I just use good tires with reflective sidewalls on my commuter.

Sausage Party = a party with lots of literal sausage. Sausage Fest = a party with lots of metaphorical sausage (few females). I love the reflective strips on most Schwalbe tires. Same effect with no janky tape
