Cassie Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 Otherwise try to get you a reflective bib. Try a chinese shop for a cheap oneEASY...just HiJack / Mug a car guard... It seems that owning a reflective bib instantly transforms any bergie into a super ace car guard!!

Minion Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 it would have been worth your while to but the expensive one! (And quicker too!)Possibly less fun and satisfying, though.
Grebel Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 Possibly less fun and satisfying, though. Could attract some unnecessary attention though depending on the extent of sewing skills...
Sepia Posted June 24, 2011 Author Posted June 24, 2011 Thanks Chubba. If i don't come right there seems many a kind fellow to help out. Much-obliged.
obree Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Its best to place the reflective tape as low down as possible, cars lights are used to light up the road, so placing reflective tape on your helmet or shoulders is not as effective as on your rims. Four little sqaures of tape on the sides of each rim light up from the front, back and sides and a moving light is more visible than a static one.
AndreZA Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Do you guys know that you get black reflective tape? Not very easy to come by but a sign shop should have it.
TNT1 Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 By the time you bought a cheap one, dismantled it, taken a pattern, bought the material and the tape etc, it would have been worth your while to but the expensive one! (And quicker too!) Nah, my wife owns her own clothing business. Would be 10 minutes work for her
Sepia Posted September 2, 2011 Author Posted September 2, 2011 I have acquired some excellent prismatic yellow stick-on reflective tape. Will give some away but not too keen to post so I guess this is for Durbanites only? PM me if anybody would like some lengths.
