Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Christmas time!

Better question is, by what means are you going to power these lights?

Generator hub. Wheel based generator. Car battery in the rear basket. I think the last would be the best.

Last year i found a moderately small Christmas wreath i tied to the headset; which was fun, but lights would be better.

Very nice.

You need some accumulation of snow for Christmas. We just had a lovely over night snow fall of 6 inchs. Beautiful outside at 30 deg F. Heck, I did not even break out the snow blower.

Nice to have a white Christmas.
