SURVEY ON BICYCLE REFLECTORS

This survey was to investigate the quality of reflectors in existing bicycles. Information was collected by counting the total number of bicycles at chosen spots throughout the country and by recording the type of reflector in each bicycle. Only 11% of the bicycles had a good reflector, while 52% were fitted with a very weak reflector. Unfortunately, every fourth bicycle is fitted with a reflector type whose luminance coefficient is so low it cannot be considered a reflector. /SRIS/
