Truth be told, I'm hoping that one day cycling will become the major mode of transportation for me. My vision has deteriorated to the point where my eye Dr. has reservations about my continuing to drive, but none about riding. The generator lightning does appeal to me for not having to keep up with batteries as much. I can't afford a MS right now, let alone a dynohub, so it's all moot at the moment.
