Bikes: Giant Excursion, Raleigh Sports, Raleigh R.S.W. Compact, Motobecane? and about 20 more! OMG

Any bike I ride at night...

I have old dyno hubs, new dyno hubs, old bottle generators, new bottle generators and a couple of bottom bracket mount generators.

Sturmey Archer GH6 Dyno hubs-4
New dyno hubs-3
Combo dyno IGH -2
Old Bottle Generators-3
New bottle Generators-2
Bottom Bracket mount-2

Most of the bikes are running more modern lights, LED or the just past generation of halogens. I am currently waiting on the newest incarnation of the B&M Classic to become available, I have 2-3 bikes that I plan to put them on.

I still have a couple of sets of battery lights that are used for bikes that don't have lights, or to loan out to friends if we are riding and it gets dark on us. I used battery lights in the past because the generator lights were so poor, but they have improved so much in the past few years I can't see not using them.

I consider my bike(s) my second car, I wouldn't drive a car without the proper lights, so why ride a bike without them.
