At the risk of offending upstanding members of the bent riding community...
I was riding home from work the other day and caught up with a bent (yes, he did have a flowing beard) at some lights. He had an improvised rear pannier that consisted of a flip top plastic kitchen bin bolted to his frame. The bin included a mount for a rear light and another for his flag.
But that's not the subject of this post. The daggiest accessory was the circular white reflector bolted to the sole of his right boot to improve his visibility to oncoming traffic.
Well it was the funniest thing I saw that day...

I've got one better. Found it while cleaning out the shed last weekend. It's actually designed to be a bicycle component.
Have to find it again and take a photo so it's full glory can be truly appreciated.

More soon. 😉
Does it beat the left/right turn indicator lights?
At least that *can't* be in the recumbent dress code...

Reckon this tidy unit lays waste on any fancypants MP3 player on the market, but the doppler effect at speeds over 20kph makes listening to the footy slightly difficult. Although I'm toying with the idea of retrofitting it with a luxeon. Which would probably completely fk everything without a adequate heatsink.

Do you regularly travel at a non zero velocity relative to your bike?
I'd get that looked into if I were you!

Ok. That explains it. Now I believe you :-)

I passed a guy once who had a standard plastic toilet cistern attached to each side of his rear wheel. Looked like it worked pretty well.

One of the Aust electronics magazine(?) gave away a yellow slim brick am/fm radio about a decade or so ago. Sat upright on the nand;lebars on a flat bar mount (which still haunts the bits and bos containers here. no idea what happened to the radio as I prefer as much silence as I can get.

That is an object of beauty. I remember having something similar when I was a tacker. No torch component, just a bar mounted am radio with speaker facing the rider. I took it off in the end as it clashed with the bar-bag I had at the time. It continued its life as a bathroom radio mounted on the shower curtain rail. Marvelous. I can remember struggling to ride along trying to turn the bars to get good reception (AM aerials are very directional).

Something like that would totally pimp out my MTB. I'd stick that one one side of the bars, and on the other I'd have one of those motor-bike throttle twistable handlebar thingies that when you twisted/ripped the throttle made this "ROAR" noise like some clapped out RM80 trail bike. I think they were actually called "roar power". Definitely from the same era as your hi-tech iluminating sound-box
God knows where that is, from memory it was in the same funky grey colour scheme, a horizontal light mount on the handlebar, with a hi-tech fasterner. (i.e.: mildly useless nylon lock nut & bolt).
