I ride with downtube shifters and no computer, but I do think that modern USB LED lights are one of the greatest improvements to cycling since the derailleur. I remember riding with nothing but a barely visible light strapped on the ankle. Powered by two C cells, it don't think it lasted an hour. So you used it sparingly because you couldn't afford the batteries.
