Maybe I should save this until Guy gets back, but I'm sure he'll at least scan 6 weeks' worth of urc
headers after Easter.
I think I may have a solution to the problem of pedal reflectors on bents. As Guy has pointed out
several times, the lighting regs state that pedal reflectors must be clearly visible to the front
and rear. I've been through the regs and I can't find any loopholes:

But think of the legendary blades protruding from the hubs of Boadicea's chariot wheels. All we need
is reflective sticks protruding from the outside of each pedal and we can be legal. Might work for
clipless pedals on uprights, too.
