Taking it apart, I saw that the batteries were made in July 2015. Not too good for it to stop working that soon. Some of my bikes have dynamos that are 30 years old. They just keep going and going and going... Until you get to a red traffic light, to a stop sign or into a traffic jam. The perfect spot at night to get hit by a car driver who didn't see you because you were on the only unlit vehicle around. Yes, Joerg, we know: "Danger! Danger!" First, I've been riding regularly at night since roughly 1977. The event you describe has never come close to happening to me. At a red light or stop sign, the motorists behind me are coming to a stop anyway; plus my bike has reflectors. Recently found what was left of a rear-ended bicycle chucked on the grass verge not far from traffic lights last time I went to the next town. Out here there is usually a cross, flowers and the surviving front wheel leaned against it. It always amazes me how many cyclists are on roads after dusk and in dreary weather without even a blinking light in back. Or with one where the batteries are most likely already oozing. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |
