My first decal application (self-defense, aka visibility)

Self-shaped, cut from a 2"x36" strip of 3M retroreflective tape. (Not very) sorry for the size:

Nighttime, no flash, just a flashlight pointed roughly at the bike:

Nice.
I'd be too tempted to cut out "Don't Hit Me" or something :P

I think you're right. I wasn't ready to try making those curves out of a straight tape line, but I'll find some white reflective rim tape and complete the job.

BTW a tip I found on the net really does work; applying a soapwater solution first allows one to adjust the placement &/or bend slightly around curved surfaces and then work out bubbles from the center outward.

They come with 2 full extra strips in case u mess up. As for the soapy water thing i just used rubbing alcohol to clean the rim and it let me peel it back and re do it when i messed up
