In 2003 I was riding home from work with my homebrew lighting system
that used two 14 watt 12V sealed beam halogen lamps and a kid called
out "nice lights." Does that count as "congratulations?" It was
unsolicited praise. These days good lights are so common that no one
would think to praise a cyclists using them.

I guess that I should also point out that besides probably 25% of the
personally owned dyno lighting systems in my city being in my own
garage, my city also probably has the most dyno equipped bicycles per
capita of any city in the United States; this is due to the bicycles
owned by a very large fruit company with its world headquarters in my city.

So, have you stripped your websites of all your previous disparagement
of dyno lighting and its users?

Why would he do that?

If a person spends ten years or more implying that dyno users are fools,
ISTM he should say _something_ when he begins using a dyno.


Dyno lights suck compared to decent LED battery lights except for the fact that you don't have to recharge them. I regard my dyno light as a novelty item or a back-up. But I must say that the dyno was almost acceptable on Monday when riding home on a rare dry night -- on a flattish part of my route. I thought "this is what it must be like for Frank." And then I started up the broken-up goat road and turned on my battery light. https://tinyurl.com/v8mod75 And yes, low tree branches are a thing. https://tinyurl.com/tblfewk

But you don't want to trade for a brighter-than-the-sun Oculus??

I already have a battery light -- in fact, three battery lights. I don't need four. And after drilling and tapping my thick-as-a-brick fork crown, I'm going to use the Luxos even if the light sucks -- sort of like a glowing hood ornament. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/73/30...19a3721acc.jpg

Has your education fallen to such a low that you're now quoting radio hosts? Tell you what - should I quote Rush Limbaugh or Michael Savage or would you prefer Ben Shapiro who would probably make a marvelous President though people like you do not vote for Jews.

Don't you think you're taking a chance in the extreme left wing communist inspired people on this group? Jay has a career as one of the great capitalists in this country and will STILL mouth communist homilies as often as he can fit them in.

No matter how often the failures of the leftist policies of Democrats he continues to think, "next time it will work."
