Who's got a front reflector on their bike?

[Maz]

I've just noticed that I have a front reflector attached to the handlebar. I don't need this on, do I? I've got lights already.

Cheers, Reg.
So I can ditch the reflector, right? I have a Cateye EL-something-or-other on the front.

On my commuting bike i have reflectors as i need them when it gets dark. On my racer though, i don't need them as i am always out when its daylight. I go out with the club at the weekends and all the cyclists don't have reflectors, they probably think it weighs them down to much

How long have you had the bike. Do tell me you've not had it long.....only just noticed the reflector............
I use reflective tape on my forks of the commuting bike

Mate, a year! It was sort of pointing downwards so it was below the level of the h'bars, so didn't really notice it

I do notice things like chains snapping, tho...Cheers Fossy.

I ACTUALLY put mine back on as they do work - whether a cardriver notices them is another thing...

still got the front one after fifteen years, can't do any harm, might do some good and it costs nothing

I think I'll add 10 more and make it look like a Lambretta.

Not me. I think the Cateye EL-500 and the Busch and Muller Ixon IQ do the trick

I have a reflector on my wheels.

My old Dawes commuter has one that fixes on an angled bracket to the right fork. When I first got the bike, I thought it was an archaic accessory and removed it. Nowadays, knowing better, it wears it with pride .

I remember those, cor

Mine bolts through the mounting for the front mudguard, above the wheel, don;t bother no-on

As mentioned earlier, reflective tape on the forks and headtube.
And a VERY bright light...... but apparently that still makes me invisible to some people!

I left my front one on and cabled my computer onto it so it wasnt taking up any more space than if it wasnt there, I figured it might help a little bit. Ive got two front lights (Like mags a busch muller ixon IQ and then a blinkey) and a helmet light (Cateye el450) with reflective tape over the frame and over my entire helmet .... and STILL some stupid driver pulled out infront of me on the roundabout when it was my right of way.

Does anyone know the Annual carnival they have in Somerset, (Taunton, Shepton, Wells and Glastonbury) me thinks i need to be like the floats to get noticed!
