Reminds me in a way of some bicycle light. Remember the ones that had this generator that you push a lever and a serrated wheel made contact with the tire. Man once that thing engaged it was like pulling a small car. I'd rather deal with the C cell card board batteries that always leaked.

Nowadays you can get front and rear bicycle tailights that are usb rechargeable.
I've got a pair on my bicycle and they work great, but only have enough charge for maybe a little over an hour of riding before they dim out. That's the downside. I've been lusting after those German and European design internal hub dynamos bikes. Unfortunately they aren't common enough in the U.S. for prices to come down out of the stratosphere.

Grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence.

Ya, they have stuff we don't or at least for much cheaper, but believe me, we have a bunch of stuff they don't or for way cheaper as well.

If it's Calif then you are taxed to the max.

That's because you are commenting from the perspective of the one man single-handedly keeping the music shop industry financially alive in England.

All I can say is come to freak show southern Calif and get taxed to death. masked and gloved to death, if you happen to be one of the common folk. Us and NY.

blues90 , Don't feel bad man, you're not alone. It's like that in a lot of places. It's like that here as well.

They got it right in one sense in that "We're all in this together" phrase that seems to be popular in many places and it's correct, no matter what perspective you're coming from.

Just remember, for everything there is a season, and this too, shall pass.
