But before we could leave, Mr. G had to fix a flat.
When we arrived, we just intended to have a beer and leave. Mr. H paid. Thanks, Mr. H!
But two of us ordered food and next thing you know it was dark.
I had front and rear blinky lights, but Mr. G and Mr. H didn't have lights. We stayed on the bike trails and had a fun ride home. I was blinded a few times by the car lights shining in my eyes from a parallel road. One of those times, I even rode off the trail. I need to start carrying a more powerful headlight.
I also want a dynamo front hub. Which one should I buy? It's worth the expense, because it's a safety item, right?

I know a shop that carries three brands of dynamo hubs at competitive prices.
Schmidt, Shimano, and ?
SRAM
And I just ordered a Sturmey-Archer drum brake dyno hub for us to play with.
I use the shimano on my commuter and the schmidt on my randonneuse. Both very work well. You won't be disappointed with either hub.
You'll be a miserable person if you get anything less than the Schmidt. Actually, to really be happy, you need two Schmidts, in case the first one fails when you're night-riding 200 km outside of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, with no hope for replacement.
I use fear tactics to turn up the pressure on a potential sale.
That tactic seems to work -- it made me buy the Bleriot before the other guy...
Sturmey Dynamo Drum Brakes Rule! 'Nuff said. Val
