Review on 🌟 Enhanced Visibility with White Micro Prismatic Sheeting Reflective by Keith Samuel

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very reflective, works well

Most workdays I leave the house well before dawn and ride my bike to work. I don't commute to work to save money, so I'm not as cost sensitive as some commuters. But I like to be sure. Since I changed my tires with reflective sidewalls every brand I've tried rides like a rock, with the Panaracer Gravel King SK tires the ride has improved a lot. But I was a bit worried that I wasn't visible from the side. My usual commuter bike is the steel single speed All City Nature Boy. White reflective tape pairs beautifully with white accents along the fork and rear stays. My wife and I tested how reflective it was before deciding to use it all the time. We added 2" strips to the sides of the fork, seat and chainstays. When my wife followed me through the business park that evening in the car, the reflectors were visible from at least 75 meters behind. Crossroads, reflectors on the fork and chainstay gave a good signal that I was at the crossroads. She could see me well, there could be a T-bone collision. Between my headlight, Niterider 750, rear turn signal, Portland Design Works Radbot 1000 and all my reflective gear, the excuse "I didn't see you" would be utter bullshit&%@!. I carry the rest of the tape in my backpack. When I have one If I meet a cyclist without a reflector or light, I offer him a piece of this tape. I know some of my fellow commuters are forced to commute to work. I want to make sure everyone in the tribe is safe. It sticks well to clean surfaces.
