It beeps when it’s done.

It beeps when you press the button.

It beeps when you place it on the base.

But today, it beeps no more.


I classify this as a repair.

      bike headlamps.

      i’d love to hear your complaints. mostly so if i’ve got something wonky with my bike i can fix it. i’m not trying to blind anyone with that damn thing, just make sure both i can see and be seen. mine’s got less than half the luminosity of a car headlight, so we might be talking about different types of headlamps tho. some people get nuts with their headlamps.

        I used a flashlight mount on the handlebar, and pointed it at the ground in front of me instead of forward into space. Worked very well and didn’t shine into people’s eyes. I also didn’t use the blinkenlights mode on the rear light despite it being the popular option around here — it’s just annoying.

        I’ve had a run-in with blinding lights when I was in a group of people cycling at night, and on a path through an unlit park we encountered a group riding the opposite way. Couldn’t see shit except their lights.
