OK, I'll bite. I wear them. The bill is a sun visor of sorts. When you need a bit of relief simply push it down, or if it's raining it can help keep the water out of your eyes. When you don't need it, push it back up.
The alternate use is to wear the things around town when you're not riding so people will think you're a complete dork. This way they'll tend to leave you alone and give you a wide path.

This I don't get. It's past it's useful time on Earth.
This, however, I just picked up lest I burn the vent pattern on my bald head.

I find the bill to be the perfect length to keep the rain out of my eyes.
I live in Vancouver where it rains for 10 months of the year, so I couldn't imagine not having the traditional cycling cap.
(It's also surprisingly warm in the winter)

I wear the cycling cap when I work on the bikes. It helps get me in the mood.

My LBS sells celeste Bianchi caps for $10. They're cool-lookin, the kind you saw Jan Ullrich wearing back in '03 during training rides.

Also, for those of us with shaved heads, it keeps us from getting burnt.

I alternate my cap with my do-rag. Mostly for sweaticle reasons and to prevent over-sunning my hair challenged head through my helmet. Mine is from "Liquigas" just because it sorta matches my bike.
