    Think I will stick with the Cateye option for now but look at
    getting dynamos at some point in the future. I am assuming they are
    better for the enviroment too as you generate your own power.


    I'd never really thought about it from that point of view, but I think
    you're right.

    It must be pretty trivial if you use rechargeables in battery lights - an
    AA rechargable needs what, tuppence of electricity?

    All batteries use heavy metals which are not clever things to dispose of
    (and we /really/ shouldn't be putting things like ni-cads and nimh into
    landfill). And even the best rechargeables don't have that many recharge
    cycles in them that that isn't an issue.
