Ahh, modern living.
I leave almost all the electronic garbage behind. Put fresh batteries into your cycle computer, get lights and a radio that use AA batteries (available all over), what more do you need? A microwave?
If you must, use a digital camera that also takes AA's.
There are plenty of Internet cafes all over, so it's not like you need to haul a laptop with you....
solar power is great but why not harness the pedal power, after all, your on the bike all day right?
Personally I dislike dynamos. You're basically wasting energy on a lamp.
