If you want to ride after dark in a legal manner you need:
- a white reflector facing front
- yellow/orange reflectors facing sideways
- and a red reflector facing rear
Depending on location, you may also be required to use lights, usually white forward and red backwards.
Reflectors on a bicycle are used to provide for rider safety. People who ride bicycles near automobiles use reflectors in a similar manner to headlights on a passenger vehicle. Different jurisdictions have differing requirements for reflectors on bicycles.
