Side visibility - riding in the dark

[malkin]

I put tires with reflective sidewalls on both my bikes. Not only do they seem to really catch whatever light is available and send it back, but the fact that they outline the tires also signals "bike" to whomever is on the side of me. Whatever else you do, they can't hurt.

And if people aren't smart enough to think "bike" maybe they'll think UFO and at least slow downs.
