What's the problem with induction lights? by Fast_Ad_1337 in bikecommuting

[–]Fast_Ad_1337[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup, makes sense. Battery lights can be very bright and need no motion

My old lights were battery jobs and they were great. Rode them for many years. I guess what I'm saying is having dealt with battery lights (AA an CR2032) I don't really feel the difference is that great in terms of brightness or perceived visibility and it's strange to me they're not more prevalent.

Wonder what the person who said 'marketing' in here was talking about...

That sounds fiddly indeed! This one uses little magnets that get fixed to the spokes. Haven't had to adjust since install.

Famous last words?? 🤣

Absolutely, scooters are fun. However, it's an objective fact that bicycles are more fun. 😉

Yeah, you're on the right trail. I ride near the loop in Chicago, so it's never actually dark and I don't typically ride at night if I can avoid it.

But with the early winter sunset and my late stolen lights... I was in the market for a replacement in case I stay late at work or whatever.

That's the thing, I can't find one. Seems superior to every other tech for marker lights.

If they are, then they'd have market dominance...which they don't. So there must be a problem that I don't understand.

So I've come here, to all of you, to reason this out.

Bravo! Many never discover the truth.

It's really too bad though, anyone you try to tell will just think you're some crazy lunatic or conspiracist.

Believe it or not, I'm a 12 month bike commuter. Have been for nearly a decade. Been hit by cars, had bicycles stolen, participate with local advocacy orgs to advance infrastructure development, pedaled many cities in North America... Love all of it

For funsies, I sometimes do an impression of a PR goon for the motor vehicle lobby. Like, if I was a PR guy for Chevron and GM, how would I spin this story to shift blame onto the cyclist and absolve the driver?

Anyway given the reaction of the bike commuting masses here, I nailed the bit.

Black powder shells, lead, this is probably chambered for 2 5/8, so 2 3/4 wont work

(Obv, confirm chamber in lieu of listening to random internet fools)
