As an urban cyclist, your visibility on the road is essential. And with good reason! Cycling exposes you to risks, all the more so when you're riding alongside motorized vehicles. To limit these risks, and since you can't be heard, it's vital to make yourself visible in all circumstances, and even more so at night. That's why Rainette has designed effective reflective bike accessories for you. Let's find out more!
Bike spokes to glow in the dark
Family outing, bike tour... any reason to get on your two-wheeler. All the more so as this outdoor activity helps to alleviate symptoms of depression, regulate sleep cycles and significantly reduce stress. But to do this, you need to be serene on the roads, without fear of accidents.
To make yourself more visible, Rainette suggests brightening up your sad wheels with a little color. While some see life in pink, others will go all out for originality with multicolored spokes. You can also choose between gold, green or silver.
And by the way, how does it work? Each stick has an opening that allows it to be clipped onto the spoke. Ultra-easy-to-install reflectors for added visibility. And while our spokes are sold in packs of twelve, the number per wheel is (almost) unlimited. So treat yourself!
Fluorescent laces for iconic sneakers
Who said sneakers were bland? Certainly not Rainette! With our reflective laces, you can customize your sneakers with style. This originality lies in the huge choice of colors, which allows you to match your sneakers to your outfit or frame. White, blue, yellow, black, pink or red... assert your look, whatever your age or gender!
But as well as being original, you're also unique. That's right! Rainette is the only company to design these wonderful laces. So you benefit from an offer that's unique in the world, and that' s classy.
So how does it work? Simply replace your current shoe laces with reflective Rainette laces. As a result, your feet light up the asphalt and all eyes are on you. You're finally visible on the road, whatever your mode of transport. Bicycles, scooters or simply on foot.
Original stickers for classy pedaling
We round off this parade of color and visibility with Rainette reflective stickers. These add a touch of whimsy to your bike, your helmet and your outfit, making you stand out on any occasion.
If our stickers are your children's darlings, they're also suitable for use by older children. Waterproof and UV-resistant, they'll give you your own personal style, day or night.
Installation couldn't be easier! All you have to do is clean the surface well before installation, then gently stick the sticker on. For good adhesion, however, a minimum bonding temperature of +18°C is recommended.
And as an added bonus, the whimsical retro-reflective stickers are all printed in France. French elegance, that's what it's all about!
Use without moderation, on your helmet, bike, scooter, skateboard, hoverboard, suitcase...
Reflective sleeves for protection from the cold
It's all new and exciting, and we're proud to present you with our bike muffs! Yes, we've all had cold hands on our bikes, whether on the way to work, after school or on weekend rides. That's why it's a good idea to wear sleeves that keep your hands warm all winter long.
Soft and comfortable, sleeves are also water-repellent, enabling you to withstand a light rain on a ride of less than an hour. Last but not least, and this is what this article is all about, the sleeves are made from a retro-reflective material that makes you more visible on your bike trips.
Reflective bike accessories for greater visibility
When you're on a bike, you can't be heard coming, despite the requirement for a bell audible from a distance of at least 50 meters! So it's vital to be visible.
In addition to rear (red), front (white) and side (orange) reflectors, a white front position light and a red rear position light, as well as a yellow vest approved for use outside built-up areas and in low-visibility conditions, it may be a good idea to add reflective accessories to your equipment.
In fact, the transparent glass microbeads contained in the reflectors reflect light when they are illuminated. In other words, they make you visible in front of car headlights or under public lighting. 360° visibility, whatever the angle of attack of the light.
These microbeads make all the difference with phosphorescent material. The latter requires recharging (it stores and then rejects light). This is not the case with microbeads, which reflect light naturally and without consuming additional energy.
The result? Rainette reflective bike accessories have a long service life. All at a very affordable price. So it's safe to conclude that the value for money is there, but we'll let you judge for yourself 😉
Vigilant behavior on the roads
To be visible on the road, reflective accessories are a good place to start. But it's also essential to follow the rules of the road and learn how to signal your presence. So, extend your arm in the direction you're turning and raise it when you want to stop.
Don't forget to wear a bicycle helmet and an approved yellow vest at all times, even when it's not compulsory. This equipment greatly reduces the risks and disastrous consequences in the event of an accident.
As for your bike, make sure it's in good condition and correctly adjusted to your height. Ideally, you should install rear-view mirrors on your two-wheeler to give you a better view of your surroundings. A hazard spreader is also a good device for encouraging cars to move out of the way when overtaking.
