    If you want to be fancy, get an LED flashlight and duct tape. Costs you $15 tops, even if you buy it at a high-priced store like Wal-Mart. Inasmuch as most people who buy bicycles for exercise will be putting them away, or selling them on Craig's List within a month, that's all you need to invest in as pointless an accessory as a light.

    The pretense and stupidity of people who spend a fortune on high-tech items, when they could make them from stuff they probably already own, is a constant wonder.
