Bicycle reflectors are small, bright reflective devices that are mounted on the spokes of a bicycle wheel. When the wheel is in motion, the reflectors create a moving light that is visible to drivers and other cyclists. Reflectors are an important safety feature, as they help to make cyclists more visible to others on the road. Do bicycle reflectors work? Yes, bicycle reflectors work by reflecting light back to its source. When light hits a reflector, it is redirected back in the direction it came from. This makes the reflector appear as a bright spot
Most new bikes come with reflectors, but not all. You can always add reflectors to your bike, or buy a bike that comes with them. Reflectors help you be seen at night and in low-light conditions.
There are different types of reflectors, but most of them work by bouncing light back to the source. This is why they are usually used at night, when there is little or no light to begin with. However, reflectors can also be used during the day, as long as there is a light source that they can bounce the light off of.
Reflectors are most commonly thought of as a safety measure to make sure drivers can see cyclists at night. But do they work during the day? The short answer is yes, reflectors can work during the day. However, they will be less effective than at night. This is because they rely on light to be effective, and there is less light during the day. There are two main types of reflectors: passive and active. Passive reflectors, like those found on bicycles, do not require any power to work. They reflect light that hits them back to

These are fantastic, by the way! I've owned a set of them for for 2.5 years, and they're still in almost brand-new condition. Except for the occasional nick here and there, they haven't lost any of their reflective coating, and only recently has one piece fallen off and become lost. They've actually outlasted the bike wheel I first mounted them to. They are also BRIGHT. When the headlights of an automobile shine on them, they truly light up. Since they are sufficiently bright, you really only need one set of them. They don't even need to be placed on each spoke. Every other spoke will function properly.Why then do I only give them four instead of five stars? Basically because I don't like how they appear during the day. They are a silvery-gray tint that roughly matches my spokes, but despite the color, they stand out in the sunlight since they are considerably thicker than the spokes and are about the diameter of a pencil. They irritate me because they make the wheel appear cluttered. I put up with that since I far prefer having a bike that is visible at night to one that is attractive during the day. (However, if you can't stand it, pick up some White 100-Inch Roll Lightweights Reflector Tape. It is nearly unbreakable, less conspicuous in daylight, is less dazzling, and loses its "shine" quickly when soiled.)Just a couple more things to consider regarding these:1. They must be cleaned frequently because they lose a lot of reflectivity when they are filthy. I use the same Simple Green concentration to wash the rest of my bike to wipe them off, then I rinse. The reflective coating doesn't appear to be harmed by the Simple Green.2. They will obstruct your tire levers when you replace a tire if you install them close to the rim. But it's not a big deal to move them while changing the tire near the hub and then move them back after you're done.3. They only allow you to see from the side. To be seen from all sides, you need good headlights, taillights, and spoke reflectors.But if you're wondering whether they're worth the money, the response is YES.

When I ride my Catrike at night, I think of these as my main attention-getters. Of course, I have both head and tail lights on, but motorists can see them from all angles. I can tell people are looking at me because they slow down and gaze. On the bike/ped route, I've had walkers with flashlights call out to me on my "beautiful wheels." I gave some to a new riding acquaintance so that he could ride more safely at night, and he was equally astounded by how brilliant they are.

A need for nighttime bicycle riding! Having this light on my bike was a lot of fun. The light itself is not overbearing and is quite modest. My lamp came with two mounting brackets, however I'm not sure if this was an error. I put one on my road bike and one on my mountain bike, making it simple for me to switch the light from one bike to the next. The simplicity is what I adore the most about it. It charges using a standard 5V USB. This implies that you can charge this device with any phone's home, car, or portable charger. Just pack a portable charger if you're going camping, charge this bad boy when you're done, and she'll be ready for another trip. The battery pack is also very simple to put on and take off. It has a straightforward Velcro system that simply wraps around your frame.The setup process for this lamp is quite simple. The LED adjacent to the switch has a charge indicator integrated into it. You can see the three brightness settings the light offers in the images I've included. The images were captured in a pitch-black garage using a camera with a fixed manual setting.In case anyone was wondering, it charges at 5V.Any 5V charger is easily able to provide 7Amps.

I just installed them on my bike today, so I can't speak to how long they will last. They appear to be of decent quality, but if they come off or the reflective covering wears out, I'll update my assessment.To put them on, you will undoubtedly need pliers, as stated by other reviewers. To protect the reflecting surface of my pliers from damage, I cushioned them with multiple layers of masking tape, and it mostly worked (I tried one without the padding and it did seem to damage the coating a bit, so definitely do pad them). To put them on effectively at first, it could require a little bit of trying, but once I got the hang of it, it was pretty simple.They are obviously quite reflective, so I don't worry about that.

This was my buy for the dark ride home from work. It works quite well on its own, but I also use it with another light. On the tightest setting, I thought the mount felt a little loose, but I haven't experienced any movement or unintentional tilting. I charge it once every few days to make sure it won't die on my way home; my commute is roughly 7 miles and takes 15 to 20 minutes. A battery metre to indicate when the battery is running low would be wonderful to include. Would purchase once more

The 20" kids' bike that they rode was a nice match for the reflectors.I was able to pull the old reflector off of the holder and slide the new one on because the front reflector on the bike was broken. I had to completely replace the back one because the bracket on the bike had been broken off.The brackets don't seem to be particularly adjustable and are overly big, as others have noted. It turned out okay because I was able to use a piece of cardboard as a shim to make the smaller one fit on the back.I'm relieved that I didn't have to use both brackets!

I've never posted a review before (as far as I can recall! ), but these reflectors are excellent and might significantly improve someone's safety. One night, my black Cavalier King Charles Spaniel ran away and was completely dark as she ran down the street. I purchased them to attach to his harness if he did it again because it terrified me to death. I wasn't sure if the painted metal and plastic buckles on his black nylon mesh and strap harness would stay in place. I positioned them everywhere (do have to be careful when taking them off of the plastic). The ones on the mesh and nylon straps adhered properly when I pressed them over the provided red paper with a warm (not hot) iron. To remove it without ripping the reflector off, you must really press down the paper's edges over it (I used my fingernail). Even the ones over the seams are fastened and look excellent despite being somewhat wrinkled. In reality, they appear to have been created when the product was first made. I glued the others on the plastic and metal, thinking it would be fantastic if they stuck but not really expecting much. Every surface was adhered to by the glue. I think the directions were really clear and concise. fantastic stuff

Okay, I'll admit that the incredibly cheap price made me dubious. However, the reflector arrived as predicted. Hole placement was flawless. I got two bundles of three reflectors because I have five bikes and wanted a spare. A nut was missing from one reflector, but for less than $3 plus delivery, that's pretty dang excellent. How good these items are for the price is impossible. At the neighborhood bike shop, you could easily purchase one of these guys for $10. Good work!

Glad I purchased this pack! Each roll of reflective tape comes in five different colours, and the shipping was prompt. I can't buy these types of tape in stores. I'd be interesting if this manufacturer produced wider lengths; if so, please offer a link.
There is no law that says a bike has to have a red reflector, but it is a good idea to have one. A red reflector will make it easier for drivers to see you, especially at night.
No, a bike does not need a rear reflector. However, it is recommended as it helps increase the visibility of the bike to drivers, especially at night.
There are a few things you can do to become more visible while cycling. First, you can make sure to wear bright and reflective clothing. This will help you stand out more to motorists and other cyclists. You can also equip your bike with reflective tape and lights. This will make it easier for others to see you, especially at night or in low-light conditions. Finally, you can try to ride in well-lit and well-traveled areas whenever possible. By taking these steps, you can help make sure you are seen and stay safe while cycling.
Most bike reflectors are placed on the pedals, wheels, and frame of the bicycle. The distance that the reflectors should be from the ground varies depending on the type of reflector. For example, reflectors on the pedals should be no more than 2 inches from the ground, while reflectors on the wheels should be at least 3 inches from the ground.
Reflectors are often used in construction and road work to increase visibility at night or in low-light conditions. They are usually made of plastic or metal, and are designed to reflect light back to its source. Reflectors can last for many years, but their lifespan will depend on the materials they are made from and how they are used.
Cycling on the pavement is illegal in most countries. This is because it is considered a danger to pedestrians. In some countries, however, cycling on the pavement is allowed if it is done in a considerate and safe manner.
