You know how you can go out and buy a car that doesn't have headlights, and or tail lights? No, because you can't. --------------------------------- Industry standard moving forward should be that all bikes, okay racing bikes elite bikes exempt, bikes for kids, road, mountain all new bicycles sold need to have built in lights, front white and rear red. Bikes are for transportation and should not be sold without lights. ------------------------------- *can be built into the bike frame, not adapted to a bike frame making them more theft resistant (and perhaps less desirable as at least some would be shaped for individual brands) *lower cost for industry to buy them have them made en masse. *can be made for dynamo power more easily if made by manufacturer not as an after market. *improve safety, reduce crashes Many people bike around without lights on, such as in cold months when it gets dark earlier people are surprised by early sunset and 'forget' lights. or had them stolen. or the mount broke. or the battery is dead. *for current bikes, someone buying new could bring in their lights to show proof during the sale, as a way to transition into manufacturers taking this on. ---yes of course battery pack is rechargeable via mini USB
