Reflective sidewalls on my Marathon Supremes, velcro ankle reflector to keep my pants out of the chain, red reflector tape on the rear fender and white tape on the front head tube. My rain jacket, helmet and Carradice bag have a bit of reflective material on them also and last but not least both front and rear light lenses have built in reflectors. I've often thought of stitching reflective fabric on the backs of my gloves shaped like arrowheads for when I signal......just haven't done it yet.
