Well its 70 years since the bans on recumbents in mainstream cycle
racing were implemented and the UCI still hasn't explained its
reasons.

On April 1st 1934 the UCI declared that a recumbent wasn't a bicycle
and consequently all records set by them were put into another
category.

I followed the links and found this really interesting option for lighting
that I had never heard of before.

Is there anyone out there using a hub dynamo?

This looks like a great idea.

Anyone using a Hub Dyno? Yes,Lots. I and several others use the
SON[Schmidt]. It IMHO is the best hub dyno.

Oh yes. I have one on my UCI-illegal recumbent (a SON) and one on my
tourer (a Shimano Nexus). Excellent things. No noticeable drag when
the lights are off, not a lot when they are on, never slip in the
rain, can't recommend them highly enough.

Hi

A hub dynamo will not generate enough power to assist a 500W Crystalyte and
most certainly will not help a 9,000W E-TEK.
I have used a dynamo for basic lighting and they are silent and quite
efficient...but when you stop, the lights go off...although I have heard
of people in G.B. using the dynamo to act as a trickle charger and when they
stop, the lights stay on via the batts.

Such devices are apparently available throughout Europe- they're
commonly called "standlights".
