+In Early 2008 I decided to add a few stripes of reflective fabric to
+the rear of my panniers. I am not very good at sewing so I used
+Fabritac, and they have held on reasonably well since then. I wouldn't
+say that the bond was *permanent* though, but so far they have only
+peeled a tiny but on the edges (fixable with a quick dab of the
+glue).
+
+I am quite a bit more reflective in the rear now thanks to this. I
+also have a rear fender now (more to follow on this once I stop being
+lazy and install the front one too) which has a nice strip of orange
+reflective tape.
