Marker Pen…I’ll bet they are stuck on rather well otherwise commuters would moan they wear off.

But assuming they are road tyres…fashion before function?!

It’s stuck on. Find the end and peel it off. Why though?

You forgot to add mate. Somewhat menacing when taken out of context…

Agree, they look crap and I don’t cycle in the dark so not required.

For Schwalbe and Vittoria tyres I have had in the past I just pick underneath a bit of the strip with a Stanley knife and they slowly pull the strip off. Too fast and it snaps.

A trace is left behind but it is non reflective.
