My wife likes to be "seen" as much as possible on our road rides. I have seen some bikes with fluorescent yellow/green handlebar tape but haven't been able to find it anywhere. Does anyone know who has it?

If you were shopping for this 15 years ago, you wouldn't have any problem locating it. But I would suspect you might have a hard time finding that color today. You could check with your LBS and see if they have anything in their catalogs. Otherwise, a bright yellow might be your best alternative.

Cinelli makes some handlebar tape that has a reflective stripe throughout. It is called "Lux." Pull down the page on this link for a picture. This is avaliable on a lot of bike mailorder cites (this is just the first page that came up for me on google)

I seem to remember seeing a fluorescent bar tape at Nashbar. But I think the reflective Cinelli stuff would be better.
