What a coincidence, I bought some of [url= http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Respro_Hi_Viz_Black_Diamond_Sticker_Sheet/5360011877/ ]THIS STUFF[/url] yesterday.

I've only put it on the rims so far, don't really want to be sticking tape all over my bike if I can help it. I've put some on my shoes and helmet as well.
It's VERY sticky, once it's on it's pretty much permanent.

Haven't tried it out yet but in the kitchen spotlights it seems to work well. I'll try and get some photos tonight before my commute to work on Monday.

Can you not get it in clear tape, if not cant see many putting this
on there Mountain bike. Also does not make a replacement for lights
like the fools in the commecial.

I have this guy save as a ebay seller for 3M reflective tape, dunno if he's the cheapest though.

GW it's not about replacing lights, it about making you (normally a commuter) bike more obvious on the road @ night. It's normally assumed your locking this 'commuter' up some-where potentially unsafe, so 'uglying up' the bike with black tape is actually a bonus.

It's nowhere near as reflective as the White tape. I've got both on my muguard bike and the White is much more visible.

Be easier if the Manufacture put the Deacals in this stuff.
