ABSTRACT:
An improved bicycle wheel reflector having two equal sized wings, of rigid plane construction coated with reflective material of different colors, so that the color of the surface of one wing is the same as the opposite surface of the other wing, the wings extending from their apex at a fixed 10 to 20 degree angle from horizontal, and being of rectangular shape, and being of sufficient length to extend beyond the radius of the bicycle tire, yet short enough so as to not interfere with the free travel of the wheel, and being provided an alternating pair of slots at the apex of the wings so as to engage the spokes of any bicycle wheel, so that the lights of on-coming traffic are reflected in a flashing pattern for better visibility of the bicycle in darkness.
