Just as a note there is a difference between some places where the bicycle sold must come with reflectors on it and most places where the bicycle must have reflectors while in use during certain times. I can't find any mention that Ohio requires bikes being sold to have reflectors on them at the time of sale.

OCBC also installs reflectors on all refurbished bikes, since, as Ed mentioned, they are required on all bikes sold in Ohio. We also offer them for free to anyone who repairs their own bike in the shop, or buys an an as-is bike we sell, or even just walks in and wants some (we salvage them from every bike we can't repair, so have lots).
Also, Ed, if you'd like to avoid purchasing new ones, we offer bulk used ones to partner orgs http://ohiocitycycles.org/2018/04/20/partner-organization-training-services/ like EBEC, since your vols had a special group training Shop Class series with us.

At our shop, the Elyria Bicycle Education Center, we have the practice of making sure each bike sold has both front and rear reflectors. Our thinking is that this is appropriate since Ohio law requires both on bikes so we want our bikes to be legal when leaving the door. We do purchase new reflectors occasionally since salvaged bikes do not always have them or they are in unusable condition.

Hi all,
I'm new to the Think Tank, though I've been around bike coops and advocacy for years. I searched the archives but didn't find anything relevant to my question...
Do any of you have a policy about whether and which reflectors (or lights) must be installed on a bike that leaves your shop? Has your coop had a discussion about it? I'd like to hear from those groups who've considered the question, to provide input for our own discussion on it.
Thanks in advance! -Ann ____________________________________
