Any recommendations for bike lights? They all seem to come with non-replaceable internal rechargable batteries these days 😢

    Hub dynamo plus high quality LED lights from Busch&Müller, Shutter Precision or something similar. Will work forever and you never run out of battery power again.

      I second the dynamo, never felt it pulling me back and I always have working lights. I tease my bike enthusiast friend whenever he asks to charge his lights but it really is just convenient. So far I’ve never broken them so I think that’s a plus.

      I used to be all about the dynamo, but I’ve moved away from it because it’s so much easier to just take a battery bank if you need it. That way you only occasionally carry a small amount of extra weight, vs always having to pedal against a dynamo.

        A good hub dynamo has very low rolling resistance, so low that once the bike is rolling you do not notice it at all.
