A Fault!
This morning I found a minor/major problem with the Alpino's lights depending on your viewpoint, In my case I think it's a major one!
This morning in Cambridge we had our first significant rainfall for weeks and although the ambient light levels were high enough to fool the sensor into not turning the lights on, I like to ride with my lights on in the rain! Ok, I had my rear backups on my rucksack but, when I get my rear panniers so I do not have to use the rucksack? I do not want to have clip-on lights when there is an integrated lighting system already on the bike!
It is generally accepted that lights should be used in adverse conditions, so why is there no independent way of turning on the lights on the Alpino? It's my first moan about the design and yes, I shall be looking for a solution! Any comments?
Regards,
Mike.
P.S. I'm still in love though!
