A GOOD DYNAMO FOR YOUR BIKE

[mountainsport]

Lets ditch the battery powered cycle lights and get back into using the dynamo power.
Who agrees with me on this?

Please let us take this serious ok

Not me. It would be better to put your dynamo in the hamster cage and let him charge up a rechargeable battery.

I don't have a dynamo.

50 years ago, I did have a dynamo. It worked by friction against the front tire, and it meant I could have a feeble orangey light at the front, which an oncoming car would have trouble distinguishing from a glow-worm, and a dim ruddy glow at the back about as bright as a warm poker.

Today, I have a head torch that illuminates the track for several yards ahead and which would blind any oncoming motorist if I didn't have it dipped. And a rear lamp that shines like Betelgeuse, flashes like a pulsar and announces to anything behind me "HERE IS A BIKE".
