This is why a lot of bikes are sold in the UK without pedals - pedal reflectors are still a legal requirement. Where is if they are sold w/o pedals they can't be "ridden" therefore do not need to comply with the law. I think it is similar with front and rear reflectors.
It is a silly law give most people ride with lights that have similar power to car headlights.
OR - maybe if it is a legal requirement around the world - which it seems to be from reading some of the comments below then pedal manufacturers should design in reflectors.
AND - bikes should be sold with lights and a helmet as a legal requirement??? Or a helmet with lights built in...
