:-) The three speed, about-town utility bike I built up has lights that

a ride." If, that is, I have the headlight switch pushed to the right.
It's got a Sturmey-Archer front Dynohub driving period head and tail
lights, fitted with LEDs.

I'm not worried about cost. I can afford whatever I want.
But this was not expensive for me. My LBS had the dynohub, new-old-stock (VERY old) so I got it cheap. I built the wheel myself, using a rim I had from when I converted my touring bike from 27" to 700c. Even the LEDs for the headlight and taillight were given to me by an enginer friend who works for a company that produces LED-based products.
Besides all that, I've got a drawer full of bike dynamos. People have given many to me. It's a weird hobby I have.
