Have I got this right?...

Ooooh very nice, bet you can't wait!

I am very excited, it must be said
Hubby gave me lovely flowers for Valentines day and said that he'd buy me a little something as well.
I want bar ends for the new bike....

I have recently fitted front and rear reflectors on my recently acquired old MTB, not to conform with any laws but to catch the brake straddle wire should I break a brake cable on it's cantilever brakes.

Halfords do some good bar ends, £20 and each side carries a little tool kit

Oooh, off to look....

They are silver in colour and the end cap unscrews which is integrated into the multi tool style kits, had mine 3 years now and been very good, even has a chain tool to

Are they heavy?

Are they heavy?

Surprisingly not, basically they are 2 multi tools that slide into the bar ends and screw into place using the end cap which us part of the multi tool.

Just checked and they are still on halfords web site, it couldn't see the weight but they are not heavy in my opinion, they certainly don't make any noticeable difference to my mtb.

I like them! Very handy!
I don't really worry about weight these days so looks like they would do the trick!

Got me out of trouble on a few occasions, I don't normally endorse halfords but I'm delighted with these.

It should also be mentioned that the presence, or absence, of reflectors on the nations bicycles is not just low, it does not appear at all on the police's list of priorities.

Yeah. I rarely ride on the road but just wanted to know the legalities.

 

[Pale Rider]

I don't understand why some cyclists seem to want to make their bike less visible to the point of illegality, which doesn't matter because there is no enforcement.

Yes, you will get away with it, but do you really want to?

As a motorist, my eye has been caught by reflective sidewalls, front/rear reflectors and pedal reflectors.

Best to take them all off, then, in order to increase the risk of collision.

Not.

 

[Pale Rider]

Do cars have wheel reflectors?

Ask the driver after he's squashed you.

 

[Pale Rider]

If you reckon that wheel reflectors are going to stop that, carry on.

And if you reckon making your bike less visible is A Good Idea, carry on.
