The only time it happened to me, before I discovered hub dynamos and multiple rear LED lights, I
proceed cautiously (but illegally) along the well lit streets of north Oxford and then walked the
bike on the pavement for the last unlit mile of country road to my house. It's not happened since
then, if it did I would consider myself very unlucky that all 4 battery lights (3 back, 1 front) and
a dynamo had failed at the same time but as my bike folds I'd get a bus or taxi.
