Trouble is, the not-ridden-as-much bike needs to have its battery
charged for the light to work, and being not-ridden-as-much, is likely
to have not much charge just when you need it most.

I agree with Tom's points. A dynamo is great for the all-rounder bikes
that always gets ridden. My road/gofast/not-ridden-as-much bike has
the battery lights as needed for the shorter daylight days. If you can
find an asymmetrical light with rechargeable batteries, all the better!

On my primary allrounder/commuter I have dynamo wheel and lights.
Here are the reasons I like the dynamo:
1) If you ride it every day it's just one more thing you don't
have to worry about. I'm also not "saving" my battery charge for
when it's "really dark."
2) Battery lights don't work very well in the cold. I had too many
battery lights die on me on dark winter nights.
3) Three words: Daytime Running Lights. I'm pretty sure the
always-on lights on my IQ Fly have saved me from several left hooks.
Instead of having a fancy custom-made dynamo wheel I ordered mine
from Germany, where everyone is required to run lights on their
bikes. It's sturdy and utilitarian, but you won't win any races
with the extra weight and drag of any dynamo system.
