Paul T. O'Leary's "poor man's alignment guide" was actually the
impetus for my thoughts on reflective tape. At times, after I've
realigned my cheap little LED that had slipped too low, I notice how
brightly traffic signs are flashing (i.e. I adjusted the light too
high).
If my little light is that effectively reflected by the reflective
stuff on signs, I figure that I can make a pretty reflective "bike"
sign by taping my frame. I think I'll go with a 2" strip of reflexite
orange (http://www.identi-tape.com/hi-intensity.htm) and see if I can
get both sides of my frame with it. The orange should contrast with
the snow in daylight, and at night I could just aim my own light at
the frame to make it blink for everyone.
