I can understand not wanting the reflectors on if the bike is never ridden at night, but for any bike ridden at night I think it's best to leave them on, especially if you live in a state like California that requires them by law.
I only take the reflectors off bikes that are never ridden at night. That means my road bike, mtb, and the folding bike I bought to take on climbing ride trips in rental cars. All my other bikes have the reflectors they came with, as they are ridden at night.
Here's an example of another kind of cyclist who should leave them on. His reflectors worked very well as he came towards me the wrong way in the bike lane!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nT9pheWznY
