I have to say, a car company making paint that cyclists have to reapply every 10 days seems to me like self-interest (because if cyclists don’t apply it, then the cyclists can be considered at fault if Volvos run them over). As one who has a hard time remembering to lube the chain as often as every 10 days, I don’t consider this a practical solution to anything.
I was just wondering something similar. One would think that on something like the bicycle, one would want it on there for much longer than 10 days. Clothing is a little different, but still likely to want it on one’s cycling gear pretty permanently. And it isn’t cheap. Those cans look small, so for consistent use from, say, October to April when there is more darkness, that is 7 months with about 3 applications per month, I could easily see something like 7 cans (or more) needed at $20 or more with shipping per can. I think one of those jackets with the reflective dots all over is about the same cost and you can use the jacket the next year too.
