It has me wondering is this the most pointless / useless cycle accessory ever.

I am sure some of you can think of other examples.

Spoke reflectors.

For a lot of people, it is the BIKE, judging from the number of them that are ridden once or twice but then end up in a shed and are never ridden again!

But its not a cycling accessory, its so you can use your cycling Garmin for other purposes.

Genuine question. Why are spoke reflector's pointless? Every new bike I have purchased come pre-fitted?

Surely different for everybody. For me helmet (because I won't ride a bike WITH one), others would say earphones but I won't ride a bike WITHOUT them.

I had a bar mounted water cannon when I was a kid until it broke. The crashes oh man the crashes.

I want one now though.

It's aesthetics, bike snobs don't like them, but they seem quite harmless to me.
Not sure if I have still have them or not, they were on one bike when I got it.

Next time you're out see how many bikes still have them fitted. An item so unwanted is pretty pointless.

A bit pointless if you only ride in daylight.

That means I would have to slow down I usually whiz by other cyclists
