So the law here states that if riding at night I must have rear red reflector, but that a tail light is preferred (based on how it's worded it's not clear to me if this is an either/or or the reflector is required regardless). So this would mean I need to keep the rear reflector. BUT I'm putting on a rack and plan to have a rack bag, things bungeed to the rack, etc. that might block view of the reflector where it is currently placed. I've found a light/reflector combo that I can mount on the seatpost higher up than were the current one is, but does anyone know where I could find a reflector that I could mount on the back of the rack? Does tape or stickers work well there?
Also, the law states that I must have reflectors on ALL SIDES of my pedals. Hmm, I've never even seen that before. That kinda kills my plan to use BMX pedals (unless I put reflective tape on them), and would rule out clip-ins for all night riding. I'm guessing almost no one follows this law...
Any thoughts about putting red reflectors on the seat stays? Is the angle right for showing up at night? My bike is red, so they'll probably blend right in during the day.
