I don't know about strip lighting, but can help with side lighting: REI ships to Canada, and they sell spoke lights. While they don't satisfy your requirement for rechargeable batteries, they are easy to install, come in Amber, and are waterproof.

These aren't as bright as, say, a Planet Bike Superflash -- which REI also sells -- but the motion of the turning wheels is a dead giveaway for bicycle.

While it wouldn't be an ideal solution, you could also use other LED lighting from REI until you get a more elegant system.
