BAM.
So anyway, when I bought this bike back in 2007, the handlebar "tape" was actually just a pair of sliced-up innertubes: ( Cut for photos and meandering )
The other thing I did recently was put some reflective tape on each spoke, but I haven't had a chance to rig a flash photo while moving, yet. If I can pull that off, I'll post it. (Does anyone else do that spoke-tape thing? I put mine kind of scattered using a stepped pattern, but now I'm wondering whether the wheels spin fast enough to make that look semi-solid, which was my goal. If the stepped pattern just ends up looking kind of razzle-dazzle, I'll probably go for a narrower band on my next wheel, because the increased brightness and solidity seems worth the trade-off of a smaller lit surface area.)
