They make a lot of sense for someone who rides every day as well. With a $20 light, what does it matter if the battery shorts out? By another light and it comes with a battery. It also makes sense from the standpoint of having more than one light source. Not just for back up but also for utility. Multiple light sources make you stand out more and, at $20 per light, having two or three lights (a light on the helmet is extremely useful) doesn't break the bank.
