Reflectors for clipless pedals

Found it! According to Pedal
Found it! According to Pedal Bicycles (Safety) Regulations SI 2010/198 Section 4(12) A pedal cycle “MUST” be “SOLD” with pedal reflectors. Unless Section 3(1)(d) it is sold for or intended for competitive events…. So as long as you intend to race no problem! Or if the bike is not used between sunrise and sunset. Cannot find anything that says you must have them fitted; the Highway Code is guidance only!

Now that we been informed
Now that we been informed that flouro yellow is (back) in fashion how soon before a pair of pedals comes out made entirely of reflector yellow. Thanks to The Rumpo Kid, I assumed the reflectors were only for viewing from behind

At night your cycle MUST have white front and red rear lights lit. It MUST also be fitted with a red rear reflector (and amber pedal reflectors, if manufactured after 1/10/85). White front reflectors and spoke reflectors will also help you to be seen. Flashing lights are permitted but it is recommended that cyclists who are riding in areas without street lighting use a steady front lamp.

so pedal reflectors are a legal requirement. although the highway code doesn’t specify the positioning the law to which it refers (Road Vehicle Lighting Regulations) does:

Four are required, coloured amber and marked BS6102/2 (or equivalent), positioned so that one is plainly visible to the front and another to the rear of each pedal.

So in the eyes of the law only four BS approved reflectors attached directly to the pedals is good enough. I’ve never heard of a defendant or insurer trying to claim contributory negligence because of a lack of pedal reflectors.

Personally I feel that
Personally I feel that because my pedals are clipless they are incomplete without the shoes attached, my shoes have reflective strips on them and so I feel that as a complete unit they are adequate!
Not sure what the legal perspective on that would be!

I did remember something about it. But not where I had posted it.

Take the reflector from a ordinary pedal and cut to fit, then superglue it to the back of the sprung clip part of pedal that will cover the legal aspect of a pedal reflector, but saying that it is not all that visible from the rear (assuming the car driver behind you is even looking) like others here have suggested reflective anklets are best (not cool but better than KSI)

Of course if you were in a collision, the other party might try “Contributory negligence”

I would go the way of the anklets, or stick scotchlite to you shoes or back of your tights. Reflectors tend to be difficult to see unless you pedal with your heels!!
