True enough. Something I have too often seen people do in a way that risks *my*
safety as well as their own.
Though of course "dynamo" and "dark" aren't the only two choices...

I should think riding in the dark without lighting would easily lead
to suffering
If I remember correctly, the folks at Hiawatha Cyclery who sold me a SON hub
designed for a smaller wheel (which I built up with a 700c rim) told me that
the difference was not the maximum power output but the minimum speed needed to
reach that output. It's all based on German law, which require
The Riv has a SON 20 R, which is Schmidt's lighter, lower-resistance model:
it was originally designed for smaller wheels ("20" versus the model "28"
for 26" and 27" wheels) that, of course, rotate faster, and thus it was
designed to put out a given wattage at a relatively higher wheel rpm. This

Hi!
I would imagine a single-speed rider might be more sensitive to this
issue than many other folks...

And what kind would you buy today if you were looking for a new one?
