Michael Mandiberg developed a kit for making your bike super visible to car headlights with retroreflective vinyl tape! It’s easy to apply, looks fly, and comes in several colors. I did up my ride too, check it out above in normal light and below in flash (simulating headlights). The kit makes a great gift for your cycling friends and family members.

This will never get re-posted to boingboing, where is the hydrofluoric acid and nastygram stickers? Interweb bike riders want vigilante justice, not responsible ways to share the road with other citizens. I suggest you re-tool your post so it looks more like this: http://boingboing.net/2009/11/05/bicycle-defense-kit.html
Next your probably going to encourage obeying traffic signals and wearing protective clothing. Meh, cowards.

Those look really nice, I love the wheel pinstripes. I bought a chunk of SOLAS coast guard-style reflective tape for my bike and helmet (like this: http://www.kk.org/cooltools/archives/002843.php ) and some reflective cloth strips to sew on my bag.
