If we argue a bike is a vehicle, then it should have similar vehicle laws. At night: headlight, tail light and side clearance lights.
I know some will disagree, so I'll stop now, but simply make up your minds: are bike vehicles or toys. Your answer to that question will direct your answer to this question
Yey for nannie state!
Also I don't see why I should pay for some "lights" that barely meet some low "standard" that I will never use. As for reflective side walls. I sure wouldn't want to ride on them. I don't think their grip on the corners is as good as on regular tires. There is a reason why some higher end tries come only come in black...
