since my Continental GP tires with a reflective strip are not available anymore (and the new GP
5000 tires don't offer them), I'm looking for a way to tape or paint a white reflective strip on a
bike tire...kind of like a white wall, but for the purpose of making me on my bike more  visible to motorists.   I've tried using white reflective tape, but it doesn't stick very well and it's messy.

Does anyone know if there is a simple way to do this, or if there is a shop in our area that does this as a business?   Please let me know, and thanks in advance,

Bill Gary

You might find it easier to add lights to your wheels. Lots of choices out there.

Reflective tape on the rim for the win. Or LEDs'. We have these on our kids bike and they work well even when wet. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076GYKJM1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
