Default Has anyone removed reflectors,regrets?

Was thinking of removing my reflectors but I live in the city and sometimes she sits outside, Has anyone taken theirs off and found out their bike was hit while it was parked?

I've taken the reflectors off every bike I've owned and never had a problem. I don't like the looks of reflectors, but that's just my opinion.

I agree. Take them off. They look like sh*t.

If they hit your bike while it's parked, the reflectors aren't the problem...

While you're at it might as well remove the stickers from the frame downtube.

One of the 1st things to come off mine and to be honest with you...I had forgotten it even had them until reading this post and my bike hasn't been hit. I guess my answer is no.

Soon had mine off as they look dreadful and serve no purpose....for me at least. I agree with hdgzr also.
