Bike LIGHT


Latest addition to our bikes: dynamo bike lights. It’s rare that we ride after dark, but I thought we should be prepared since the daylight hours are growing shorter, and my daughter’s after-school activities are growing more numerous. It’s not inconceivable that we would be riding home in the gray light of dusk, without the help of the “lollipop lady” to hold up traffic while we cross that tricky intersection at rush hour. However, there’s also the likelihood that it will sit unused for weeks or months at a time, so the windup dynamo bike light is the ideal choice. And hey, it’s also one less device for my husband to raid for batteries to power his beloved TV remote. Now, there’s an idea – a dynamo TV remote…
