I would probably use this, if it was available and a reasonable price.

Is it time for another lights and reflectors thread? I'm finding it difficult to mount anything on the front between the aero bars and bottle mount, so I've resorted to my helmet.

Why not just get some Reflexite Daybright V92 tape? I can imagine reapplying the spray every 10 days get annoying and expensive.

It all depends on the price, but I would be interested since I don't ride after dusk much at all.

"n the video above the bicycles are reflective as well, which have been painted with oil based reflective paint available from Albedo 100, and not the Life Paint."

Spraying on the back of your jersey is where I would do it anyway. . . .I'm not concerned about being T-boned, but being hit from behind.

What an incredibly stupid and offensive idea from a CARMAKER. It is abhorring.


Here is a petition in response:

"But hey. Let's start with Life Paint on every Volvo on the planet. For society. For safety. For the children. For prevention of death and serious injury"


Is this for real or is this an April Fools day prank?
