Yup, I had one of those ankle strapped lights. And they were just good for the red light facing backwards. The front light was useless. I finally just basically taped a flashlight to the front bar. Good enough for my needs.? george

Back when I was riding we would have never used one of those rub on the tire generator lites on our sew-ups . SO someone came out with lite that strapped on yer lower leg with a clear lens in front & a red lens in the back . The red lite in back was a great idea cause cars coming up behind ya knew it was a guy/gal on a bike . The lite facing front was garbage , by the time ya saw a sewer grate ya were pullin yer buck out of the grate with a trashed rim . Didn't ride alot at nite , but when we did we tried to stick to side streets we knew or tried to keep up with the cars . The keeping up part wasn't so easy sometimes . animal On 1/24/24 12:00 AM, Tony Smith wrote:
Price & performance as usual. ? The old dynamos were pretty crap, and incandescent lamps didn¡¯t help.? Better than nothing though, and battery powered was worse.? Today with neodymium magnets & LEDs they¡¯re so much better, but you¡¯re up against $5 lights with USB rechargeable batteries that are even better. ? Everything has its niche, as before the rideshare bikes use the hub dynamo & LED combo because it works there. ? Tony ? ? From: [email protected]

Thats kinds funny how they had that technology for that & then dropped it for like 50? maybe more years & then brought it back . Like steering locks they had them in the 40's & dropped them cause they were such a big inconvenience to people .
