I'm fixing up my old bike that I've had since I was a teenager and I'm making it a commuter. It's still got the spoke reflectors and front and rear reflectors. My husband says they're dorky and I agree, but I do want to be as reflective as possible as the days get really short here and there's a good chance I'll be riding around at dusk or after dark. I'll be getting front and rear lights so I'm thinking the front and rear reflectors can go, but I'm wondering about the spoke reflectors. I have tires with reflective sidewalls, so I guess I don't really need the spoke reflectors, but I would think every little bit helps. So what do others do? Does the protection of the spoke reflectors override the dorkiness, or do they really not add value?
