^^Word! Back in my student days, I commuted frequently at night with a cheap bottle generator from Sears (all I could afford at the time). I stupidly turned it off and went ninja down some of the long hills, though, because I kept blowing out bulbs and frying the generators with too much speed- and wasn't about to waste a good downhill run by riding my brakes all the way. We have it good now!
And it was really fun to lose your light in the rain, when road grime made your tires a bit slimy and the generator wheel began to slip. Don't miss that at all.
