Any recommendations for bike lights? They all seem to come with non-replaceable internal rechargable batteries these days 😢
minus-squaregazter@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoI used to be all about the dynamo, but I’ve moved away from it because it’s so much easier to just take a battery bank if you need it. That way you only occasionally carry a small amount of extra weight, vs always having to pedal against a dynamo.
