A bicycle reflector serves as a safety feature on bicycles, aimed at improving visibility during low-light conditions or at night. It commonly comprises reflective materials, often in strip or panel forms, that redirect light back towards its source, such as vehicle headlights. This enhances the visibility of both the bicycle and its rider to others on the road, thereby reducing the risk of accidents. Reflectors play a crucial role in alerting drivers and pedestrians to the presence of cyclists, promoting road safety.
Various types of bicycle reflectors exist, including pedal reflectors, wheel reflectors, front and rear reflectors, and accessory reflectors. Pedal reflectors, typically small and made of plastic or glass beads, are attached to bicycle pedals. They are designed to enhance visibility from different angles, especially in low-light conditions, ensuring cyclists remain noticeable to other road users for safer nighttime riding. These reflectors can be mounted on frames, spokes, or handlebars, utilizing materials such as plastic, LEDs, or glass beads.
