Actually yesterday was unusually busy all over town. There was a triathlon event going on and there were bicyclists EVERYWHERE! And not just a few here and they...PACKS of 10+ taking up lanes.

It turned into a short ride. That was actually why we hopped on the freeway. I am still trying to work on my lines on my favorite twisties and I was frustrated that I had to worry SO much about the bicyclists.

As long as they are riding single file I don't mind sharing the road. But when an SUV is coming towards me on the yellow because there are bikes taking up his lane I am OVER IT!

Sorry...did not mean to start ranting!

awesome.
great and cheap way to add some definition to your bike, considering the alternative (buying new wheels) would cost 5000% more.

Cool...if they're put on straight. I don't think I've ever seen an aftermarket set put on straight, there's always one or two waves. That's why I'll never put aftermarkets on. If there's gonna be a stripe, it'll be from the factory.

I like that it'll be retroreflective. its gotta be really straight tho otherwise its gonna look terrible. I also like that its pretty easily removable.
