Mine work fine from walking speeds. They produce more light
at higher speeds, but at slow speeds you don't need it,
because you're not moving fast.
I sometimes need light most at slow speeds, when I'm creeping
up hills and trying not to fall into giant pot holes.

Where are you on Strava
No Strava. No Garmin. My cyclometer is broken. I might as well be
back in the stoneage.

Strava's just for fun. I don't use a cyclometer any more. I just
count rear tires and multiply by 1500 now.
1500mi? Is that really all you get out of a rear tire? I routinely got
2500mi out of Gatorskins. The CST Conquistare I put on there now doesn't
look like it'll give me that many miles though.
