All the reflective wear I've seen for bikes is either white or yellow. White is much more reflective, naturally. I wear white straps and have white reflective tape on the back of my bike, and a red flashing light in the back to make sure people know which way I'm going. I'm not sure I've ever seen red reflective gear at any of my local bike shops. #2: What traffic regulations are these?

These pants are a great idea. Now, if they can just make them into shorts, with a bit more style... some reflective strips on the side and/or back pockets would be nice.

Especially with the photo of 500 Club. Maybe BoingBoing should launch a local blog. This is SOOOO Mission District. Especially with the photo of 500 Club.

But shouldn't the back of the pants be reflective red instead of white to meet with most traffic regulations? Great idea.
