Thank you for the detailed bicycle and gear description. I'm one who loves all of the details!
Do you still have the same lighting system today? It sounds as if the rear light is also attached to the (front?) dynamo? Does that mean you have cables running the entire length of your bike?
We met a man this summer who is running a rim dynamo. He quite liked it. I've been thinking about adding a dynamo to my bike, but can't decide if it's overkill, given that we stay in motels each night.
Jacinto just bought a Priority 600 bike. It is very well outfitted for the cost. It came with a dynamo hub. I like how eye catching the front light is. It has a small flashing light on the rear fender that is attached to the dynamo. It isn't a very good light, but it's 'free', and always on. It has the five minute delay you mention. I asked Jacinto how the wiring to the rear light runs, but he doesn't know. Typical . . .
We discovered the USBR system this summer in Michigan and Wisconsin. Notable that USBR skipped the Tunnel of Trees near Mackinaw Island. We rode the must do road anyway, only to come away unimpressed with the lack of view and the heavy traffic/skinny road. No wonder USBR skips it!
2 years agoFor 2022 we will be traveling through Utah. I pulled up the USBR for routing help. I'm presuming it will be as good as it was in the Great Lakes area.
