Since upgrading to SPD pedals about a month ago, I haven't yet needed to go out on them at night. If I do however need to, since they don't have amber reflectors then technically I would be breaking the law.
Now, I know that the chances of being pulled over for not having them is very, very slim but it's still going to be worth it for the greater visibility, and in case of a collision for insurance purposes.
As you probably know, most SPDs and SPD-SLs don't have amber reflectors mounted, and mounting them is very difficult. I own a pair of Shimano SPD Mountain Bike (E-PDM540) pedals but Shimano don't sell a kit to add reflectors to these models.
Does anyone have any alternative methods to mounting reflectors, has anyone ever had any issues with the law or insurance companies for not having them, what do others do and would I get away with wearing reflective ankle bracelets instead?
Thanks in advance for any responses.
