Where are the tragic tales of cyclists who are seriously injured or
killed because their dynamo standlights were too dim or too short-lived?
Somehow those tales have failed to make it into the safety literature!

There are no such tales because a cyclist that is not in motion could
be considered a pedestrian.

"In a typical year, nearly 5,000 Americans are killed while
walking".
I wonder how many of those were actually cyclists walking their
bicycles or waiting at a stop sign or signal (with or without a stand
light)?
