Anyone know who sells this in the UK?

I know there are some ebay sellers who do it in rolls (on demand), but its pretty expensive to get the good 3M stuff. But its probably worth it.

Extremely god stuff, my Brompton and Thorn both have this tape.

Virtually invisible normally and as bright as silver Scotchlite in the evenings

I Had some off ebay it's very good as a reflector, but only reflects when light is directed at it (I know thats what reflective means) the point i'm trying to make is without a strong light source it's still black not high vis if you want to stay safe think hard about this one you can't beat the E.N. approved stuff
Take a look on Ebay at the "one less car" visi vests and reflective bands these are sold by a friend of mine not for profit. She's seething at the moment after an accident that killed a fellow cyclist very close to where she lives.
Very very sad

That's the issue with hiviz at night - it only works when someone's looking towards you using a light source in the same line.

Yes but anything is better than nothing my advise is wear and display the brightest things you can lay your hands on
Thank god for led's great rear lights and not too many battery issues like the good old never-ready lights I had in my day
we all must do as much as we can to be seen
it makes my blood run cold when I hear about cycle accidents and the old "I didn't see thm 'til it was too late". But I have also been in the position where i see stupidity A nasty night and a cyclist NO lights and a camaflage jacket!!!!
Have fun but please stay safe it's no good being in the "right" if your dead

I don't recall paying import duty, goods need to over a certain value b4 that kicks in?

Just checked statement. Paid via Paypal, 10ft of the 3/4" tape came to $29.99 +$4.50 shipping - 22.35 came off my card in Sterling.

Thought it was a short "10 metres" - sorry for the misinfo. It does what it says on the tin, but it does go quickly, just about did my bike okay with 1 roll, ie 3-4 strips on the top tube, down tube, etc...all the main tubes basically, each side on the forks, chainstay. Multiple bikes you probably want a roll each.
