And the beauty of a bike with an integrated generator lighting system is from the viewpoint of the rider, there is no sacrifice. The lights are there, but if you don't need them you never notice that fact. They require no advance preparation to use -- just flip the switch and they come on -- and they impose no hardship or penalty on the rider when they're not in use. It may be an issue to retrofit the new wheel in the first place, but on an ongoing operational basis, no. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Bicycle Lifestyle" group.
