Need some (not a lot) asap, as I'm doing some work on my Dad bikes (he bimbles round Brum on it quite happily).
So anything I can do to make him more obvious on the road is a bonus. Thinking I can cover his bike & panniers in it...

So where can I get some in a resonable hurry?

If you have a Clas Olsen shop locally you can buy reflective tapes in rolls from them.

cheers both.. I realise now it's 3M not a BMW...

I think I'll give the eBay chap a go, do have a Clas Olsen localish but the eBay stuff is seemingly better value for the same money.

Now you've brought it up, yes it is.. well I never.

"A retroreflector (sometimes called a retroflector or cataphote) is a device or surface that reflects light back to its source with a minimum scattering of light"

Everydays a school day 😉
