Cycling remains a very good practice for fitness, helps cut back on some carbon pollution and enjoy the breeze and picturesque surroundings. However, safety should be prioritized, especially when riding a bicycle at night or in the dark. One style of safety that every cyclist must contemplate are the reflective strips for bikes. At RTLITE, we appreciate the fact that one should be seen on the road and that is why we create high-quality reflective strips that provide safety to the cyclist on the road.
What Are Reflective Strips for Bikes?
Reflective strips can be defined as bright and vinyl materials that can be stuck to your bike’s frame, wheels or other components. These strips are supposed to bounce back light that falls on them from car headlights, streetlights and other light sources making the bike visible to other road users in the dark or low light situations.
Reflective strips from RTLITE are made from high quality materials that can endure harsh weather elements which mean durability. Whether you’re in the urban areas riding an electric bike or are out in the country on a mountain bike, these strips will add to the visibility without taking away the classy appeal of the bicycle.
Why Are Reflective Strips Important for Cyclists?
Increased Visibility: Reflective strips increase your visibility on the road especially when riding at night. They will resonate the light from other vehicles and thus make drivers aware of your presence.
Adjustable Application: The strips can be applied to different parts of your bike such as the frame, tires or even pedals or handlebars. You can comfortably order the customized designs that fit the customers needs from RTLITE.
This is especially true on rainy or foggy days where visibility is compromised so strip lights are essential. RTLITE products are weather resistant, so no matter the environment these will work.
Cost Effective Solution For Your Safety: For safety reasons, reflective lights are the best option over advanced illumination systems as they are fairly more cost effective.
Applying Reflective Strips
Applying Reflective strips is a pretty straightforward procedure, requiring only a couple of minutes to do. To achieve the perfect results, please follow the bullet points below:
Wipe the Area: Confirm that the surface of the bike is also free from flakes of dust or wetness. Adhesive surfaces suffer if there is dirt and grease.
Select the Areas Where Witing Strips will Be Placed: Determine which surfaces of the bike require being visible the most like the rims of the wheels, the pedal section and handlebars.
Peel and Stick: Peel the strip off its backing, exposing the adhesive side, and place it on the area where you want it. If there is a bubble beneath the surface, rub the surface gently with a soft cloth.
