Of course, both of these points miss the most important one. With the Bookman Magnetic Reflectors, people will be even [more visible when riding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ciele-nite-rite) in the rain, snow and especially at night. As their name suggests, they fix to frames securely through the use of magnets, creating a fun polkadot pattern in the process.

Originating from Stockholm, Sweden, the Bookman Magnetic Reflectors are available in two colors: white and red. They also come in small and large sizes, both of which are available in the packs of twelve they are sold in. Stylishness is a great price to pay for safety.
