I use a road bike for commuting but the laws in Germany are literally retarded.
I am fine with battery light but there are no SPD-pedals with reflectors and no decent road tires with reflective rings (as far as I know). And I can't add reflectors to my spokes.
Basically riding a road bike on the road is illegal in Germany.
Flat pedals aren't an option and I am not going to buy new wheels cause paying the fines is cheaper.
What to do? Pay fines (ca. 15€ a month between October and March)?
I already added reflective stickers to the pedals but they aren't loicensed.
Are there any decent road tires (25mm) with reflective rings? (Strange Vietnamese tire brands need not apply).
Is there a lock or shimano pedal-system with loicensed reflectors? (the reflectors need a little "K" and a number on them).
Should I move somewhere where the cops have better things to do than collecting my money? (Sadly seems to be the most expensive option...)
