If not, he will most likely have slightly better than the $2 lights I alluded to, but not necessarily the $100+ systems that enthusiasts utilise.
Some cyclists (in the UK at least) still try to save batteries, maybe were skinflints over here
, anyhoo I do agree to a certain point with daytime running lights, and have my car lights on 24/7 as well.
My reason for this is because it makes you easier to see
when the sun is behind you, but car lights on the whole are a lot more powerful than most bike lights.
but I think we can agree to differ
Like I said Capt, we on the same page, just a slightly different view.
One thing for sure, Gene Hackmen if he does run lights, they will not be in the $2 or near by area, that's for sure..
I mean, the man is a millionare!!
If you are a "skinflints" over there, well, I am the master of BEING THE CHEAPEST over here.
To give you idea, I am running aaa rechargeable batteries from China, that are running something like $3.41 for 8!! Can't get any cheaper than that!!
In summary, we have more points that we agree on than we disagree..
Plus, yours and others different opinions on this subject has helped me a lot on knowing what to do and what not to do...
