It's a blast?

Don't let the DHS hear you say that.

Which brings up the question...
Is there cycling computer/speedo that has back light?

Sure, plenty:

if we see dynamo riders..distinked from cyclists...go on at length about their new gadget but not the experience of night riding then what can we conclude ?

'cause they're working when the sun is out, but don't want to give up riding...?

Many reasons why people ride during the dark hours.

Some things are best done under the cover of darkness.

Back when I had lights on my bicycle, it was because I couldn't always
finish my errands before sunset.
