Any recommendations for bike lights? They all seem to come with non-replaceable internal rechargable batteries these days 😢

    The good old “bottle dynamo” lights have stood the test of time.

      No they haven’t. Those were always shit and are absolutely not suitable for modern traffic.

        Maybe I’ve been lucky then. The ones I have had are from the 1970s and still work. They’re also easy to repair, which in my opinion is part of making a product “buy it for life”.

        I’m sure modern hub dynamos are better in lots of ways, but I don’t know if they’re repairable in fifty years.
