RANT: Bicycle light on/off switching
I used to participate in a photography forum and there was a "Rants and Raves" section that people ID'd threads as a Rant or Rave. This is a bit of a rant.
I've had all my bicycle lights for quite a few years now and there's no need to replace them yet, but one thing that I've never gotten over is the on/off issue.
I really dislike having to hold a button down for a few seconds to turn it off. I think it'd be much better to have the "on" function take a few seconds so they wouldn't turn on when stored in a bag, etc. while you're locked up.
OK, I'm better now. Until the next time I have to spend 15 seconds of my life turning lights off!
