I’d like to remove my wheel reflectors, but I’ll need some kind of replacement. Such as spoke reflectors….maybe. I like to be visible. I don’t have the fancy tires with the reflector strip. Maybe I can add them with reflective paint? I don’t really care what my bike looks like, I just want it to serve its purpose in a safe manner.
PS, I almost decapitated a Surron rider, last week. I was getting something from my truck and began to lower the bin door on the passenger side (the door comes down vertically and rests horizontally at elbow height). I’m in the sidewalk. Right then, I hear a buzzing motor. It was on my left. I immediately pushed the door back up, hugged the side of my truck, and looked to stare in the face of the Surron rider. He immediately apologized “Sorry, bro. SORRY!” and buzzed off. I’m staying professional, since I’m working and didn’t say anything. I would’ve liked to ask him why he decided to use the sidewalk instead of the bike lane and where was his bell? Maybe there was a delivery vehicle up ahead of my truck that was blocking the bike lane? I guess it is illegal to ride those in the street so…sidewalk? Maybe he was on Vado? I dunno, good thing I heard him.
