I have just bought a "commuting bike" - tradiional Dutch town bike,
complete with hub brakes, sturdy pannier rack, bell, etc etc.
It also has a dynamo front light, which, when I bought it, seemed like a
plus. But now I'm not so sure, and I wonder if the new bright LED's with
long run-times per battery have rendered the dynamo light obsolete.
My dynamo light is:
heavier than an LED
gives a less bright light
is more expensive
is more difficult to pedal
So why do people swear by them? Of course they avoid using batteries, so
are more eco-friendly, and they're more difficult to steal, but apart
from that?
