Oddly, I'd never noticed before that it matches my Blazer almost perfectly. The yellow stripes on the cranks are Scotchlite, as are the red/yellow (rear) and white/yellow (front) bits on the rims. The yellow things on the seatpost and stem are retroreflective snap bracelets; I usually wear one on my left arm at night for signalling, and they also come in handy for binding up a pants leg if I'm riding in pants.
For daytime rides, I've given up on freezing the water bottles and just use a Camelbak with the gel-equipped bladder. I tend to drink enough on hot days that reaching for a bottle each time is a hassle anyway.
And just for giggles, my Scotchlite job on the helmet:
If I'm not wearing a Class 3 reflector vest, there's usually one in the pannier, but the helmet is a nice addition in case I don't notice it getting dark.
