We love reflectivity. Truly. We love it on our helmets (it's in the woven helmet straps, it's on the 'Nutcase' front helmet badge, and on the side and back logos), and we love it in our clothing.

September 4, 2014 We just love two-wheeled vehicles. If they are human-powered, so much the better, but if they aren’t, the move toward powering them electrically is very, very welcome.
