How can one avoid having bike crashes?
To avoid having bike crashes, look for traffic. Try to see situations before they happen. Wear bold colors and reflectors.
How many reflectors do you need on a bike?
How far a reflector can be seen depends on the power of the light shining at it. So there's no set answer.
What is the difference between bike headlights and bike reflectors?
A reflector is like a clever mirror, it doesn't shine by its own but will cause any light that hits it to bounce back in the direction that it came from. A headlight is a light, if you have it on it will shine by itself. Reflectors are great for being seen by people who are shining a light in your direction while lights can be seen by anyone looking.

They mark the edge of the safe area, keep clear of them. In the UK red reflectors are always shown to the rear of a vehicle, never to the front, therefore they mean you are approaching the rear of car, lorry, bike etc.
