Cycling Forum / Country Specific / Australian Cycling / December 2010

Yes, it is that time of the year and I am surfing the net cos I am bored.

Whilst reading the Sydney Morning Herald, I came across an article on Dr
Shock

Check out the headlights on his bicycle :) Now that is what I call a
bicycle headlight :) Of cos the 30kg batteries needed are a bit of a
bother but, hey, those additional 3 x 100W rearlights need some juice as
well :)

OK OK OK, I concede - Dr Shock's contraptions are not as practical or as
compact as those I saw on  The Fat Hippy's website
(http://www.users.on.net/~fathers/lightstoc.htm) - no obligation,
don't-know-the-bloke-from-a-bar-of-soup,
wouldn't-recognise-him-if-I-tripped-over-him, gratuitous free plug. :)

Also, it appears that using 1500 Watts (100,000 lumens) bicycle
headlights on a public road is illegal. Damn!! :)

Again Bah Humbug to all and ride safe.
