Have you heard of laissez-faire?....19th century political economy view point...means leave alone.....then it meant don't force good health onto me...ie sanitary sewage systems, fresh water in pipes for all.....where the government keeps out of everything except law and order, foreign policy and defence.....so if Eddie wants to go without lights and takes the risk of killed that is his look out...i personally think it is crazy to cycle without lights...but that does not mean that they should be forced upon a cyclist...in my opinion...i agree others will disagree and think cyclists should be fined or punished....again i disagree....the ones i do feel sorry for is the person who mows down the cyclist without lights....assuming the driver is not drunk, not using a mobile, not on narcotic drugs or is a homicidal killer!...So don't try to enforce your values upon Eddy....he wants his bike paired to the bone.....and if i recall he does attach lights to his clothes and bag...if so...no probs!
Glad you like the wheels and they have gone to a good home......still spoke cards would spoil those lovely wheels.....don't do it!
