What are those little rubber hair-like things, attached on the wheels of my bicycle? What are they called? What do they do?
 
They actually dont do anything and are strictly left-overs from the molding process used to create the tire's rubber casing. Some people trim them off & some people could care less and just let 'em wear off as the tire is used. You're fine either way.

Oh, and I believe the technical term for them is "little rubber thingies"... lol.
 
there called pegs other people stand on them when you ride your bike porbabilty wrong
 
do you mean thosebits on the tyre? they're just leftover from when the tyre was moulded i think
 
that is leftover from the injection molding process when the tires were made. they serve no purpose now and will wear off with use.
