Cycling-specific clothing including tights
often has integral, reflective fabric.
My Louis Garneau tights have the reflective
LG logo. It's not much, but it's better
than nothing. Of course I greatly believe
in using a "good" (for one's respective application)
combination of active and passive lighting at night.
But every little bit helps.

It seems to work for some fellow city folks,
although I sometimes get the impression they're
parasiting off of lit cyclists such as myself.
I don't think it would work for me. I don't
mind being interdependent, but I refuse to
be a parasite. I guess I'm just an epiphyte,
using other people's light sources to illuminate
my reflectives.
Sometimes I'm a saprophyte. Especially when
I buy stuff at thrift shops.
cheers,
Tom
