  1. Bit of a curiosity one, but I have at home a cheap LED "wind up" torch
    (handy for emergencies, never any dead batteries when you need it),
    and a cheapie tesco wind up radio in the bathroom (for similar
    reasons !). The latter also incorporates a rather decent high
    intensity LED torch. Both are similar in intensity to those Petzl head
    mounted LED sets you get, one of which is doing duty as a front light
    at present.

    So, does anyone make such a thing as wind up bikelights. I know
    dynamo / rechargeable systems are available, but I am thinking more of
    something self contained and removable like a battery set as my main
    use would be a ten minute daily station commute - and I don't like the
    idea of leaving anything "light-like" on the bike to tempt a thieving
    little scrote.

    I love my Reelight blinkies. No batteries, wires or dynamos :-)

    This one keeps blinking after you stop.
